Les Olson IT’s Accounting VP Amanda Slatter is nominated for SHEroes in STEM

 

This past weekend Saturday, March 5^th, 2022, Thanksgiving point kicked off International Women’s Day with a “SHEroes in STEM” (STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) event held at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. Les Olson IT’s new VP of Accounting Amanda Slatter was one of 12 nominated as one of the SHEroes to spotlight at Thanksgiving Point.

 

The event was put together to inspire elementary and middle school girls to pursue an interest in STEM careers and feel empowered to do so. The SHEroes were presented on posters or set up at 10 different activity demonstration tables. These women were selected to be presented as role models to children and especially girls to foster an interest in STEM fields.

 

SHEro Amanda Slatter, VP of accounting, offers this quote to inspire young female individuals who have an interest in STEM fields: “You Belong and are needed as the best version of yourself. You are Completely Capable of anything you decide to do”.[/cz_title][cz_gap height=”25px”]

Amanda’s Who’s your SHEro bio 2022-

 

“As a child, Amanda loved to organize and categorize all types of

things. Her method of playing with toys was to separate beads

into color piles and sort through Barbie’s clothes. Her love of

and tendency to understand Math began early, which fostered

a love for Chemistry, and later Accounting. Accountants help

businesses keep and understand their financial records, which

lets them make healthy decisions quickly. Today, Amanda strives

for diversity and equity, not only in the workplace, but in all places.

She believes that the best decisions can be made when there

is representation from many different backgrounds. If you like

numbers and organization, you can find fulfillment in being an

accountant one day too!”
