“As a child, I quickly noticed a stark difference in the technology available to children in my mother’s home country and those around her in the United States. This technology disparity is critical to health care, education, and communication. I realized that we are far from global technological equality and decided to study engineering so that I could share my perspective and experience to help close the technology access gap around the world. I made it. ”

“Perseverance and energy conquer all. If you have a vision or a dream, you can achieve it as long as you are willing to put in the time. Your goals may not be achieved in your desired timeline, but you can If you don’t want to, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Reach out to your network and explore all the resources available.”
Jimena Noah-Guevara, oregon state university
“I study data science and human-computer interaction in the field of computer science. After graduation, I plan to work for a few years and continue learning about how technology contributes to the world. But the ‘why’ question is… The concept follows me everywhere: “No?” And I want to show people from different backgrounds that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. Therefore, my ultimate goal is to become the CEO of my own company. Because, why not?!”
Jose Guajardo, University of California, Berkeley
“My first exposure to STEM was when I attended a summer program at a local university in my hometown of Laredo, Texas. During my junior high and high school summers, I learned basic math and science and learned how to use Lego Mind. I studied engineering through Storm. Looking back on this project, it’s hard to imagine that such a program was available in my hometown, and it planted the seeds of my interest in electrical engineering. There is no doubt about it.”
Rosalinda Garcia, oregon state university
“My advice to future STEM students is that community is key. Finding clubs and friends who understand your experience is an important part of the support you need to continue to succeed. We also have people with more experience in the industry who can relate to you and will be happy to help you complete your degree.”
Sarah Barrett Ornelas, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“After graduation, I plan to focus on research and development of new medical devices, either at an academic or private institution. We hope to apply it to the development of biosensors to collect important health-related data to help healthcare professionals make informed decisions and enable new diagnoses and treatments. ”

“You have the same potential as anyone else. You may have to work hard to catch up, but you have the ability. Find a student organization for underrepresented groups. Join a panel of professionals who are ahead in their careers and have had similar experiences. Their successes are inspirational and their struggles are relatable, even if they cause friction. , stop thinking that cultural differences are an irremediable alienating factor, look for common ground, and don’t create barriers.
Xiomara Gonzalez, University of Texas at Austin
“As a recipient of this scholarship, I will be able to attend conferences and professional development opportunities related to my field of study. It is very important to learn about innovative approaches to research. It also provides a rich environment where you can share your research and hear the experiences of others.
