Pioneering Leaders: Discussion Panel with Chinese American Women

This roundtable discussion will focus on Chinese American women's career choices. During the event, panelists Jaclyn Lock (Senior Research Associate at Genentech), Felicia Lowe (Independent Television Producer, Director, Writer, and Filmmaker), Lauren Marshman (Academic Counselor at Galileo Academy of Science and Technology), and Helen Zia (Journalist, Author, Activist, and Fulbright Scholar) will discus their decision-making process when building their careers. What were the challenges they faced (professionally, financially, socially, and/or culturally)? They will describe their own career paths—successes, challenges, and chance encounters they have faced along the way. All women are at different points in their careers and have had to balance their career goals and family obligations/expectations. We encourage everyone to join this vital and timely discussion.
Before the roundtable discussion, local musician Anna Wong will perform a couple of songs.
