Maritime engineering is a very male-dominant field, often with only one or two women aboard a ship at a time. Our guest on today’s episode of Hazard Girls is Serena Webber-Bey, a United States Coast Guard licensed Chief Engineer of Steam and Diesel Unlimited Horsepower Vessels. She has been sailing with the Maritime Engineers Beneficial Association since she graduated from SUNY Maritime College in 2004, where she earned a Third Assistant Engineer License, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree of Engineering, Mechanical. Sailing off the board, with the union, has allowed Serena the opportunity to work on multiple types of vessels and she is currently a port engineer working ashore in Long Beach, California. Stay tuned for this episode, where we hear from Serena as she shares her experiences and insights of being one of the few females in the field of Maritime Engineering.
