“Lisa Hunter was invited to sit on a panel of industry experts for a CIS (Computer and Information Systems) student event called Configuring Your IT Career in spring 2022. Lisa was asked to share her knowledge, expertise, and experience with current CIS students who are getting ready to graduate and enter the IT workforce. Lisa is confident, approachable, and very knowledgeable in her content areas and she was well received by the students. The students enjoyed engaging with her, learning from her, and were comfortable asking questions. She spoke clearly and used language that students could easily relate to. She was not only a role model for all students but also was able to represent successful women in a profession where women do not make up the majority of the IT-related workforce. I would happily recommend Lisa for any type of speaking engagement and look forward to working with her on more CIS projects at Scottsdale Community College.”

As the lead I set up our initial processes and gave our group direction while achieving buy-in from the office leadership. I organized panels on topics such as mentoring and interviewing; built local partnerships with groups such as Arizona State University, Code.org and Science Foundation of AZ; and have presented talks both inside and outside of the company on both technical and soft skills.
