Fellow launches Impact Podcast with Mentor as 1st guest
Fellow Houa Seghouani (Algeria, 2023) recently hosted mentor Joyce E. Coffee, on her newly launched Impact Podcast, to capture the stories of women changemakers in STEM.
In this episode, Houa captures the inspiring story and insights behind Joyce’s founding of Climate Resilience Consulting. With a bachelor’s degree in biology and master’s degree in urban planning from M.I.T., Joyce seeks to “create resilience for all rather than just avoid risk for some.”
Joyce has spent more than 25 years leading green technology projects, with experience not only in the U.S., but also in the Philippines, Vietnam, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan.
Houa is an experienced electrical engineer and the founder of the Net3alem initiative, an online platform for STEM and language training. She is a fellow of both the TechGirls and TechWomen programs. Bringing her journey full circle, she recently served as a 2024 Local Engagement Coordinator for the Algerian TechGirls, supporting participants and preparing them for their journeys to the U.S.
