The EMC Society Podcast: Hear Us Above the Noise

Welcome to CROSSTALK – the IEEE EMC Society Podcast!
Hear us above the noise!
The podcast where we discuss all interesting topics regarding electromagnetic compatibility!
In this episode, we explore a topic we touched lightly on a previous episode, women in engineering within the IEEE EMC Society. We are joined by our special guest, Tara Kellog of ETS-Lindgren, who serves as the IEEE EMC Society Women in Engineering Chair and the IEEE EMC Chapter Chair in Texas.
Together, we discuss the experiences of women working in engineering, how opportunities and workplace culture have improved over the years, and the progress that still lies ahead. Tara also shares valuable advice for young engineers, including how to build confidence, develop professional skills, find opportunities, and grow throughout their careers.

We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation and that it encourages more women and young professionals to connect, grow, and become active members of the engineering and EMC communities!
