Advice :As a first-generation Latina student and Reboot Scholar, I’ve learned the importance of embracing your unique journey and leveraging your perspective as a strength. Build a strong support network, like the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, to find mentorship and encouragement. Be intentional with the opportunities this scholarship provides, aligning them with your goals, and remain resilient through challenges, knowing passion and dedication will guide you. Keep learning, whether through formal education, certifications, or self-driven projects, and always look for ways to give back to your community. Your success is not only your own but also a stepping stone for those who will follow.
