On February 21, GSAAS held a seminar with Sharon Abbas, a former student, and current employee in ITT/Exelis Geospatial Systems. She provided insights of her 10-year career in the atmospheric sciences private employment sector.  She has had extensive international experience, marketing, and management exposure working  as a meteorologist.

She also provided stories of her time in Belgium.  She was in Belgium for three years and was the first minority at her company at Raytheon to do so.  She offered encouragement to the audience. "Don't be afraid to step out of the box and do something different," she stated as well as "Network and seek out mentors."

Thank you Ms. Abbas for your talk.
