The STEMINIST podcast is produced at the Cullen College of Engineering at the University of Houston aimed at celebrating trailblazing women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
You will hear industry leaders, engineering researchers, and female faculty members at the Cullen College talk about their journeys in STEM and how their work impacts the next generation of female STEMINISTs.
Hedda Grelz talks about balancing her studies as a Mechanical Engineering major and her practice as an accomplished competitive diver. Hedda prioritizes the future of engineering by mentoring students on campus. She talks about her experience in interning and research during her time at UH and the experience that has brought her. Hedda shares her go-to ways to manage stress and mitigate burnout keeping such a streamlined schedule.
In this episode, STEMINIST host Moriah Bisewski interviews Rosario Maltbia, a UH electrical and computer engineering alum. Rosario has been with Shell for six years as a product manager but moved to California amid the COVID-19 pandemic for a new role as a facility engineer. In this new role, she manages a "terminal," maintaining production schedules and communicating across multiple teams. She attributes much of her success to her communication skills and management style of building up employees.
In an engaging conversation with STEMINIST podcast host Camilla Flores, Eliza Paul P.E, an esteemed #CullenCollege Alumni and District Engineer for TxDOT's Houston District, provides insights into her educational and professional journey. Eliza discusses her academic achievements and sheds light on her remarkable career trajectory. As an international STEM student, she shares her experiences and challenges, offering valuable perspectives on navigating the field.
