Watkins Wellness Participates in Girls Rising Career Fair

In May, members of the Watkins Wellness team participated in the Career and STEM Fair of their nonprofit partner Girls Rising, a San Diego-based nonprofit that empowers young women through mentorship and career readiness support. Watkins’ support particularly funds Girls Rising’s transitional program, Women Emerging, which currently serves ten young women in San Diego between the ages of 18 and 24 through personal and professional development.

At the event, Watkins employees spoke with the young women about their interests and careers.

Participating Watkins team member Nadia Guerrero, Talent Acquisition Business Partner, said, “It’s an honor to support an organization that empowers young ladies by providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their environment and future possibilities.”
