"I am so incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the 2023 Simmons Leadership conference. The speakers, such as Masih Alinejad, Gloria Estefan, Carla Harris, and Amy Purdy, left a lasting impression on me.

I came out of the conference as a much more confident leader than before and feel more motivated to speak up and share my ideas in research, engineering, and leadership positions." Read More
