Ep 331: From Engineering to the Appalachian Trail — and Back Again
Cassandra Morecroft King, deputy program manager at BlackSea Technologies, did something most people only dream about: she quit her ocean engineering job in oil and gas and set out to hike the entire Appalachian Trail.
But the toughest part wasn’t the hike itself — it was reentering the engineering workforce afterward and figuring out how to frame her unconventional journey as a career strength.
In conversation with host Sam East, Cassandra shares stories from the trail (including losing her shoes in a river), her experience of reentering the STEM workforce, and how engineers can leverage their personal adventures to highlight the unique skills they bring to the table.
