Thoroughly enjoyed Keith’s exploration of Marianna’s path. The dialogue was great with emphasis on training, job opportunities and what anyone, minorities and women can bring to the profession. Actually, Marianna lived with us for a year in Northern California after her time at Berkeley. She is honest, ethical, and passionate. These qualities are demonstrated in all she does. She and George Rolla run a very well respected company. Thank you for highlighting her. I hope this in someway helps the industry… her big fans.
