The Wandering Journey of an Explorer: Adams Takes the Road Less Traveled [Women to Watch]

Abstract

As someone who has never been on a "traditional" career path, Jacquelyn Adams was delving into the future of work before it was trendy. She calls her approach "the wandering journey of an explorer"-a computer engineer and small business owner who served in the Peace Corps, took a sabbatical (unsponsored) to hike some of the world's greatest trails, and lived for more than a year as a digital nomad. Now that a global pandemic has made the future of work a very present-day, necessary conversation, Adams is uniquely poised to provide insights on how to recalibrate when unexpected circumstances arise.
