Dr. Brown has extensive experience in STEM careers and a
deep understanding of underserved communities that lack
exposure to STEM opportunities.
Most large corporations struggle to connect with underserved
students, as they often lack the empathy and lived experience
to truly relate to them.
Dr. Brown brings a unique blend of cultural awareness and
relevance, offering both in-house expertise and experience as
a collaborative partner.
WHY US?
“Dr. Shy has been such a big help to the Illinois Tech EcoCAR team. Her
passion for bringing STEM to young Black girls in Chicago has helped us
reach more students and inspire them to explore STEM. We’re so grateful
for her partnership and excited to continue working together.”
