Celebrating Women’s History Month
In 1987, when Congress dedicated March as the country’s first Women’s History Month, the National Women's History Project named the event’s theme as “Generations of Courage, Compassion, and Conviction.” Today, we’re proud to introduce a woman at New Fortress Energy who exemplify that same inspiring spirit as we all work together to power the world with positive energy.
Meet Rebecca
“Uplift One Another and Encourage Positive Energy!” - Rebecca Kang, Manager, Human Resources Operations and Compensation, New York, USA
Since joining us at New Fortress Energy nearly four years ago, Rebecca has played a pivotal role in growing our team and quadrupling our employee count. The expanding business landscape has greatly increased the complexity of her role, as well as the opportunities for growth and learning.
“My job requires wearing multiple hats and mastering a multitude of HR skills,” she explains. “I am involved in a lot of day-to-day employee experiences such as onboarding, compliance, benefits and compensation, and running analytics on our people data - all of which can significantly impact the company and employees.”
She is clearly continuing the legacy of hard-working women that we celebrate in Women’s History Month.
“It has taken the hard work of generations of women for us to get to where we are today,” Rebecca reflects. “We have more opportunities and freedoms because of their bravery and resilience. It’s important to acknowledge and celebrate women’s strengths and their daily contributions to history, society, and culture worldwide.”
Although she deeply admires many other women, she does not aim to emulate any of them.
“I don’t believe you should strive to be someone else,” she says. “Instead, I believe in taking leadership of your own life. I always try to become a better version of myself. I know myself the best out of everyone else in the world. I know my strengths and weaknesses, I set my own goals, and I keep track of my accomplishments.”
She counsels other women to take charge of their own paths as well, and to not let timing or fear slow them down.
“Start before you think you’re ready,” she says. “Everything is an experience, whether it be good or bad, and failure is a part of life. All good things take time. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind and set healthy boundaries. Have confidence in yourself, and work for a company you believe in and can proudly represent.”
Being in the right environment and the right frame of mind are keys to Rebecca’s success.
“I try to keep a positive attitude and outlook,” she says. “It’s important for me to practice self-care and surround myself with dedicated and driven people. Uplift one another and encourage positive energy!”
