Croak is a prolific inventor in the voice and data communication field. Born in 1955 in Pennsylvania and raised in New York City, she is the highest female patent holder at AT&T with 127 patents and counting. ⁠
⁠
Her career took off in 1982 when she joined AT&T Bell Laboratories. There, she felt compelled to develop technology that would “transform the internet\". She succeeded by establishing the fundamentals for Voice Over Internet Protocols (VoIP), technology that converts your voice into a digital signal, allowing you to make a call directly from a computer or other digital device. ⁠
⁠
Throughout her career, she worked her way up the ladder within AT&T Bell Laboratories. Now, she works for Google as a Vice President in the engineering group.⁠
⁠
Croak has won a number of awards, including the 2013 and 2014 Edison Patent Awards. In 2013, Croak was inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame.⁠
