Speaker Jamie Dandar bio:

"A survival expert whose skills have been honed not in the jungle but rather throughout her career in technical industries where women are sometimes considered to be rare sightings. She’s just as comfortable wearing heels as she as in steel-toed boots and enjoys the diversity found between meeting in a board room versus mechanical work out in the field. She stands at a very tall 5’2” and touts her HIGHEST accomplishment as climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to see the sunrise at the summit. She has a book coming out this spring and has been featured in the media for her advocacy of women in industry. She was once banished from voice lessons because as she was told, “Some songs are better sung only in your head.”
