Hello, Hello. In this episode of the Smoko podcast, I wanted to take the time to introduce myself, your host, Alexis Armstrong. 

I talk about my experiences as a geologist, working in mining, my transition into academia, and my time working for the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).  I talk about my experience at sea, working as a marine technician aboard the Joides Resolution, a deep-sea drilling vessel that conducts climate change research worldwide. 

I talk all things Smoko and the goal and mission of the podcast. At Smoko we aim to provide a platform for women working in non-traditional roles, and to highlight their accomplishments and experiences. Our goal is to create a community in which women can tell their story however they would like to tell it. 

Join me in this episode as we set the stage for upcoming conversations with all the inspiring women from our communities and industries. Through their stories, the Smoko Podcast aims to reshape the narrative surrounding women in non-traditional roles. We hope that through authentic storytelling, we'll be able to help diminish misconceptions and inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEM and Trades.

Take a break, we're on Smoko.
