Each year on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the world recognizes the critical role women play in driving innovation, advancing discovery, and strengthening communities. At Chemours, this day is an opportunity to reflect on our ongoing commitment to cultivating an environment where women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can thrive, lead, and inspire the next generation.
Across our laboratories, manufacturing facilities, offices, and global teams, women at Chemours bring curiosity, expertise, and leadership that move essential industries forward, support local communities, and contribute to building a better world.
This year, we’re honored to spotlight seven colleagues whose journeys illustrate the power of mentorship, perseverance, and possibility in STEM.
Alana Swinton, EHS Senior Specialist
Alana’s career shows how early guidance can unlock technical confidence and purpose. Beyond her day-to-day responsibilities, she champions growth through the Chemours Women’s Network and community volunteering—helping emerging professionals build in-demand skills and pursue meaningful careers in STEM. “Mentors taught me research skills, analytical techniques, and self‑advocacy. Now I help others build confidence, grow their skills, and pursue fulfilling STEM careers.”
Camila Granato Tiezzi, Executive Buyer, LATAM
Inspired by a trailblazing leader early on, Camila learned to step into larger responsibilities. She now advocates for purpose-driven development, encouraging colleagues to invest in self-knowledge, balance, and continuous learning through the Chemours Women’s Network. “A pioneering female leader taught me to be courageous and embrace change. Today, I encourage others to find purpose and pursue a balanced, fulfilling path.”
Dianne Fields, EHS Manager
Dianne was motivated to explore analytics—momentum that culminated in the Alteryx Maveryx Excellence Award for Corporate Sustainability. She now demystifies STEM, showing that data skills and discovery are both accessible and exciting. “A mentor pushed me to learn new analytics tools, which changed my trajectory. Now I work to inspire students to see STEM as full of possibility.”
Jody Sciance, Engineering and Mine Strategy Manager
A chemistry teacher once recognized Jody’s potential and opened new horizons. Building on that encouragement, she guides early‑career professionals to map their paths, navigate challenges, and lead with confidence. “Someone once saw potential in me that I didn’t yet see in myself. I aim to do the same for emerging professionals.”
Julie Johnson, Plant Manager for Chambers Works, Parlin & Elkton
Mentors and supporters have shaped Julie’s leadership at every stage. In return, she invests in the next generation—mentoring, judging science fairs, and being there for others to ask questions and learn from her experiences. “So many people taught and encouraged me. I hope students gain the courage to try new skills and discover lifelong curiosity.”
Rachel Evans, Data Management Senior Consultant
A pivotal conversation helped Rachel reassess her strengths and chart a path in IT. She now champions mentoring to help others navigate transitions, translate strengths into new roles, and take their next step with clarity. “A mentor helped me see how I could contribute in IT—a turning point that has shaped my career. I want others to feel supported to navigate transitions with confidence.”
Stefanie Kopchick, Clean Energy Venture Leader
Stefanie credits leaders who challenged and trusted her—and who modeled courage with compassion. She pays it forward by sharing experience and perspective with people building multidimensional careers in a fast‑changing world. “Because others supported me, I make time to mentor and share experiences that I hope will help others as they navigate their own multidimensional journeys.”
Together, these stories highlight how progress is fueled by diverse perspectives, collective ambition, and the power of mentorship to help open the door for the scientists, engineers, and problem‑solvers who will shape what comes next.
From the frontline to the back office, every Chemours employee knows they are a part of something bigger than themselves and are proud to be a part of making a meaningful difference. Learn more about career opportunities with Chemours at https://www.chemours.com/en/careers.
