WISE Keynote: Empower Your Potential, Bloom Where You Are

Maura Doherty, Author of She Blooms: Finding Home After the Convent, a Memoir

Anyone who works in safety and health knows that the path to this career is not usually a straight line. Storyteller and author Maura Doherty shares her path from novitiate at a convent in New York to an industrial hygienist in Oregon, leveraging opportunities and building relationships along the way to professional success. Through personal stories, she shows how women can bloom wherever they are, shaping their own lives while making a difference in the lives of others
