Sustaining Women in Technology: Hayashi continues to push boundaries [WIE From Around the World]

Abstract

Kathy Herring Hayashi believes that, throughout their lives, people have different waves of time and energy to devote to personal and professional goals. Understanding this has allowed her to develop and adapt to her own timeline; when her children were young, she was a software consultant, which provided her with flexibility as a new mother. As they got older, she took on IEEE leadership, computer science teaching, and a full-time job, and most recently, used the extra time while staying at home during the pandemic to codevelop the SA-EDI standard.
