In this episode we meet Sarah Meyer, the Chief Operating Officer of Enspired Solutions, a women-owned, women-led remediation company focusing on eliminating forever chemicals. 

Sarah shares highlights about how she landed her dream job, including:

• Her pursuit of finding the right fit in the science field while attending college.
• How she knew it was time to move on in her career, and how it is so important to “Listen to your inner voice.”
• The value in having a strong mentor in your field.
• Being an advocate for yourself, even if you're the youngest person in the room.
• Her mom’s advice, that helped her make a pivotal decision in her career. 
• The importance of having interests outside of work and being around diverse people makes her better at work. 

Sarah is an environmental scientist with over 25 years of experience in research and consulting on solutions for contaminated waterways throughout the United States. She has a bachelors’ degree in chemistry, a master’s degree in marine science, and is a consummate optimist. She hails from the Upper Midwest, though she has lived, studied and worked on both coasts. During her career, Sarah has enjoyed collaborating with great people doing fulfilling work to improve human health and the environment; and she also recognizes that there were times in her career when she struggled in positions that didn’t bring out her best. All of these experiences brought her to where she is today.sh(e)=mc2 is proud to be sponsored by Agilent Technologies.
