Upon accepting a marketing leadership position at Toshiba in June 2019, Woods has notched numerous accomplishments for her company and herself.

By successfully directing Toshiba's 2023 LEAD Beyond client and reseller conference, her organization earned the Gold Stevie ® Award for Best Brand Engagement Event. This Gold Stevie is awarded to events that drive customer engagement to a brand, build great customer relationships and have a strong post-event impact.

For her marketing excellence at Toshiba, Woods won the Stevie ® Award for Female Executive of the Year. She is also an ENX Magazine Difference Maker, The Cannata Report Woman Influencer, and heads up the company’s AI Task Force.

To share her love of STEM and to encourage the next generation of engineers through experience-based education, Woods serves on the executive committee within the board of directors for Ocean Institute, a Southern California nonprofit providing firsthand STEM education to 13,000+ students a year. She also conducts admissions interviews on behalf of Stanford University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions as a member of the university's alumni ambassador program.

Woods additionally directed Toshiba’s first-ever industry-wide giveback while raising more than $20,000 for Orangewood Foundation, a Southern California nonprofit helping foster youth transition into adulthood.
