Balancing her demanding career with family responsibilities, Cavazos exemplifies the challenges faced by women in the workplace while making significant contributions to the field of cybersecurity.
Cavazos decided to pursue a master's in electrical engineering from Stanford, where her focus on telecommunications and network security acted as the catalyst for her career in cybersecurity.
I understood the technologies, processes and culture within Intel's manufacturing units and was uniquely positioned to lead programs and solve problems in that space, Cavazos says.
Like many women in the workplace, I had to make a tough decision between continuing my career advancement or, in my case, investing all my time and energy in my children during their early years.
