When did your love of STEM begin?

When I realized in middle school that I was pretty good in math and in physical science due to the great teachers that inspire me in all my road (middle school, high school and university). Then at University when I really enjoy my favorite subject: Electronic Circuits, making Logic protoboards projects, I corroborate that passion. in the University I used to solve all the problems in the Algebra books just for fun, another thing that I remember is the admiration that I always feel for one of my brothers Oscar whos is very good as IT who give me in my 15th birthday my first Desktop a PC 386...lots of good memories

What is the best part about working in the field of STEM?

I hear one time that Steve Jobs talk about everyone should study programing to open the way that the people thinks using the logical sense, and I always think that one of my strengths came from my way of analyze the situations around me.

What advice would you give young women interested in a career in STEM?

it is a career that is not easy but you should try and try and practice and if you can not solve any problem, try it again, and one day you going to be a professional enjoying your passion!
