Congratulations to Dallas SWE’s August Member of the Month: Katie Mills!
Katie holds a degree in Computer Science Engineering from MIT and worked for many years as a Global Operations engineer at Dell. She enjoys working with people from around the world, problem-solving, and improving processes through Six Sigma. She is currently taking a break from the professional world to spend time with her two boys, which has unexpectedly included a hopefully-short stint as an elementary school teacher thanks to COVID.
In non-pandemic times, Katie very much enjoys exploring the world and has been fortunate to visit 54 countries. Her most recent adventure included Macedonia, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Balkans.
Katie is currently in her second year as Treasurer for Dallas SWE and has been diligently shepherding our section’s finances through the economic uncertainty associated with the pandemic. She has served in SWE section leadership positions for many years, including a term as section president for Southwest Texas.
When asked what she most appreciates about SWE, Katie answered, “I love the way that SWE empowers its members to grow in so many ways, and I really value facilitating outreach events to connect with the next generation of women in STEM. The networking and friendships I have made in SWE are also invaluable to me.”
