Sherilyn Williams-Stroud has been active in the field of geology for over three decades, where she has been recognized as one of the most important women in the field. In terms of representation in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), the field of geosciences is of the least diverse, and throughout her career she has been paving the way for women, ethnic minorities, members of the LGBTQ community as well as other communities to nullify that underrepresentation. Williams-Stroud attended Oberlin College where she studied geology and graduated in 1981. She earned both her master's degree in geology (1984) as well as her PhD in structural geology (1988) from Johns Hopkins University.

| - Sherilyn Williams-Stroud has been active in the field of geology for over three decades, where she has been recognized as one of the most important women in the field. In terms of representation in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), the field of geosciences is of the least diverse, and throughout her career she has been paving the way for women, ethnic minorities, members of the LGBTQ community as well as other communities to nullify that underrepresentation. Williams-Stroud attended Oberlin College where she studied geology and graduated in 1981. She earned both her master's degree in geology (1984) as well as her PhD in structural geology (1988) from Johns Hopkins University. Although her work is dedicated to sedimentology, geophysics and geochemistry, she does have particular areas of expertise in fracture modelling, stress and strain analysis, rock fracture mechanics with applications to oil and gas production and exploration, geothermal energy, evaporite sedimentology, geochemistry and other resources. After a long career in developing knowledge of such diverse topics in geoscience, Williams-Stroud created her own company Confructus, Inc. It is here that she consults clients within the field of oil and gas on various topics such as assessments regarding any geological risk towards projects. Williams-Stroud is an active member of several professional organizations as well as a leading activist of the Black Lives Matter movement. (en)
