Since 1981, SCWIST has made great strides in promoting and empowering women in STEM. When you register, please consider adding a small donation to support our programs so all interested women and girls can see where a future in STEM can take them.

Science and technology are a big part of your work, so how do you leverage science and technology to counteract the toll of sedentary desk work on your body? In this hands-on workshop, busy STEM professionals will learn what to prioritize in their exercise routine to improve posture and reduce pain. You will also gain practical strategies on how to include strength training in your life, even if it is just one minute at a time.

• Have confidence to exercise regularly.
• Get stronger so you can perform better in your everyday life.
• Know how to keep your body feeling good without medication.
• Be able to work without the distraction of pain.

Come prepared to use your brain and work those muscles!

SPEAKER

Silvia Hua

After working as a kinesiologist for 4 years helping hundreds of workers return to work after injury, Silvia realized that many of the injuries she treated were due to a lack of strength and poor posture. She switched to personal training to help people become more proactive with their health. As a recent data science graduate, Silvia is now seeking her next opportunity in tech to create better health and fitness apps and devices.
