Crystal M. Pee Bowman of West Palm Beach, Fla., graduated from Clemson in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and earned a doctorate in engineering education from Virgina Tech in 2024.

After a year with the Ingevity Corp. as a human resources consultant, Crystal joined Integer Technologies and served concurrently as an external affairs manager and workforce development lead. In these roles, she works with universities, K-12 institutions, and community partners to advance workforce development through federally funded research.
