“But I Did It Anyway…” continues the engaging conversation with @Black Women in Science and Engineering (BWISE) ladies, Ms. Erika Jefferson, and Ms. Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna.
Part 1 left Prototypes with a cliffhanger after Augusta mentioned that she was ONE OF TWO BLACK WOMEN IN HER GRADUATING CLASS AT HARVARD. Press play as we uncover more about Augusta and the importance of Erika’s mentorship as she transitions into a graduate program. You’ll also learn the two resources these women found to be valuable tools along the way.
Erika received her MBA from Georgia Tech and her BS in Chemical Engineering from LSU. She has worked for top companies such as Amoco, Chevron, and Praxair in a myriad of leadership and executive roles ranging from sales/business development to supply chain and operations excellence. https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikajeffersonmba/
