Join us April 24th! Beyond Balance: Creating Work-Life Integration that Works for YOU
In today’s fast-paced world, the idea of work-life balance often feels impossible—like a scale that’s always tipping out of our control. But what if we stopped chasing balance and instead focused on work-life integration?
Join Danielle Sheehan as she shares her career journey—from a medical technology startup to leading a successful coaching and consulting practice—illustrating how work and life can evolve in alignment with your values and goals.
In this interactive session, you’ll also assess your own work-life integration and explore areas for growth. Through a collaborative discussion, we’ll tackle real challenges and generate actionable solutions together. Walk away with fresh insights, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of control over how your work and life align.

Thank you to all who joined us for our March CWIT X UVA Engineering Speaker Series! We had a great turn out and learned about optimizing water resource systems from Julie Quinn and how to preserve your digital well-being from Angela Orebaugh. We had fantastic questions from the attendees and I think we all walked away with something new that we learned!

Tech-Girls Event Recap: Girls' Geek Day Highlights
March 15 was packed with hands-on fun at Girls' Geek Day! Participants dove into activities like slime making, building challenges, LED card creations, coding robots and music, and website design. A huge shoutout to the dozens of high school volunteers who led sessions—and special thanks to our amazing student organizer, Iman, for recruiting and coordinating them all!
Girls' Geek Days will return in the fall, and we can’t wait to bring even more STEM magic to young minds!
