A couple of weeks ago, we announced that the She’s in Power program is joining STEMblazers. Based in Fort Collins, She’s in Power is dedicated to providing women opportunities to explore and pursue careers in the clean energy sector. By integrating She’s in Power into STEMblazers, we are expanding our collective impact and commitment to closing the gender gap in STEM, with a special focus on clean energy careers. As we integrate She's in Power into the STEMblazers program suite, we have added a new Program Manager to lead this important program. We are pleased to announce that Kim Cortes has joined our team.
As a former woman in STEM, Kim joins the STEMblazers organization with nearly ten years of experience in the nonprofit and public sectors. She is known for her enthusiastic leadership, advocacy skills, and commitment to data-driven programming. Kim holds a Master’s in Environmental Science and a J.D. with a focus on environmental law. For the past seven years, she has led workforce programs for people with disabilities. Kim is passionate about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workforce. She is excited to combine her care and concern for the environment with her workforce development skills to lead the She’s in Power program.
