Designation:<\/em><\/strong>  Electrical Engineer-Equipment Maintenance <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into engineering\/science?<\/strong><\/em> My love for sciences and mathematics led me towards an engineering path <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most memorable moment in your engineering\/science journey at GDC?<\/em><\/strong>  I was part of the team that successfully planned and mobilized the first rig move from the Menengai Project to the Baringo – Silali project. It was the first rig move outside Menengai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the future of geothermal energy in the world?<\/em><\/strong>  The world is shifting its focus to renewables to combat climate change. Geothermal energy is one of the options, but with a high initial cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, with new technologies such as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), drilling<\/a> of geothermal wells with increasing efficiency, therefore, tapping more energy in each plant, the initial costs will be cheaper and more attractive to investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is embracing Direct Use<\/a> as an alternative use of geothermal energy. This benefits nations, communities, agribusinesses and other industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geothermal power brings more stability to the grid since it’s not affected by changes in weather patterns, unlike wind and solar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What message would you send to young women thinking of taking up engineering\/science courses and careers?<\/em><\/strong>  Aim high. You have the ability. Nothing is impossible <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your mantra in life as a woman in science?<\/em><\/strong>  Be Progressive. No matter how small the steps you make, just forge ahead. You will succeed <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which woman in Science do you admire most?<\/em><\/strong>  Eng. Lucy Wanjiku Mutinda <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you admire her?<\/em><\/strong>  Her efforts in solving waste management problems using eco- friendly solutions are commendable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
