Aisha Lawrey always thought she would grow up to be a lawyer; however, due to her math and science prowess, her math teacher introduced her to the idea of becoming an engineer. At first, Aisha didn’t know what an engineer was, but soon found out that it meant being a professional problem-solver. Driven by the challenge of increasing diversity in a field lacking women, especially women of color, she passionately pursued engineering as a career.
Today, Aisha focuses on increasing the number of women and minorities in engineering through her work as the Training Certification Global Lead for Education Programs at Amazon Web Services. Her motto is, “If you educate a girl, you educate the world!”
