Her remarkable career includes:
✔ Being one of the top seven women leaders in the world’s largest homebuilding company
✔ Serving as a TEDx and TEDWomen speaker, delivering “What Would Happen if We Gave More Girls Blowtorches?”
✔ Competing in 12 marathons, completing the World Major Marathons, and finishing the Ironman
✔ Holding a Guinness World Record
✔ Surviving the 2013 Boston Marathon tragedy as one of the last five timed finishers
Demi is also deeply committed to showcasing welding as a STEM career and advocating for Gen Z’s role in future technological advancements, including NASA and SpaceX missions.
