Bio
Caroline Milton is working to change the experience of women in engineering by providing a preventative approach to burnout, building resilient teams, and employing a holistic approach to productivity. With a background in biomedical engineering and supply chain leadership, she has experienced burnout firsthand, and then sought to understand the societal and physiological factors that heighten burnout for women. She now uses her expertise to help equip women in STEM to build a toolkit for burnout prevention and to lead organizations through change management that supports productive and resilient teams.Recognized as a champion of inclusion, Caroline brings authenticity and individuality to the work she does, knowing that the most effective employees are those that feel seen, safe, and a sense of belonging. When not speaking, coaching, or training, she can most often be found playing outside with her family.
