Albuquerque Author/Speaker Sharon Nir Discusses Tough Choices of a STEM Immigrant Career Woman
May 12, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
| FreeSharon Nir – an Israel born business woman and young mother – had a thriving career in Israel’s high-tech industry when she had to make the difficult choice to leave her home country behind to keep her family together and followed her husband to the United States for a lifetime opportunity: a surgical fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
Praised by the San Francisco Book Review as an inspiring tale of triumph over difficulty and rapidly changing circumstance, Sharon Nir’s memoir Opposite of Comfortable not explores the challenges of a young mother, wife, and career immigrant woman to thrive and acculturate in a new land, but also provides personal insight into challenges of working as a woman in the field of technology in a leadership position.
