We would love to hear what you think?
Welcome to "The Exposure Scientist," I'm your host, Dr. Alex LeBeau. In today's episode, we delve into the dynamic world of industrial hygiene with our esteemed guest, Layza. Layza shares her fascinating journey into this often misunderstood field and unwraps the layers of complexity industrial hygiene presents, from its analytical aspects to the opportunities it offers in entrepreneurship.
Layza confronts head-on the trials she faced in entering a male-dominated industry, the cultural shifts, and the language barriers that marked her early career. She recounts her experiences at the Kennedy Space Center, where she tackled unique challenges in hearing conservation and dealt with the deafening "crawler" machine.
We'll also get a peek into Layza's thought process as she navigates the potential career pathways within and outside of NASA, including the merits of becoming a civil servant versus a contractor, and the critical role of certifications like CIH and CSP in her professional growth.
Layza doesn't just share her story; she offers actionable advice for early career professionals. From balancing academics and job applications to avoiding burnout and prioritizing mental health, Layza's insights are a treasure trove for both newcomers and veterans in the industry.
So join us as we explore Layla's impressive contributions and the wisdom she imparts within the realm of industrial hygiene. Whether you're a seasoned expert or newly curious about the field, you're sure to gain valuable perspective from this deep dive. Let's get started!
