What’s your dream job in STEM? I hope to work for Raytheon or Intel, working with high-end technology to push the limitations further than ever.
What is one misconception about STEM that you want to break? You have to be the smartest in your class. What I mean by this is that you do have to work hard in STEM but its not impossible. I treat college like a lifestyle and work hard to understand my material that was given to me in class. I feel like most people who drop out or switch to another major can succeed in STEM but need a mentor.
What inspired you to pursue STEM? My grandfather was in the engineering field and I quickly learned that I could make a difference in my community with my hard work and experience.
What is an invention or a discovery in STEM that you think is especially cool or important? I would have to say my No. 1 favorite invention in STEM is the transistor. I could go on talking about the history behind it and what advances we had to make just to get down to its size today. Researching them can lead me down a rabbit hole!
