Suzanna Valdez Wolfe, CEO of SHPE, joins Karen Horting, CEO and Executive Director of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), for a powerful conversation on the state of Latinas in engineering.
Suzanna reflects on her journey from El Paso, Texas, to leadership roles in Washington, D.C., and now at SHPE, where she champions familia, community, and belonging in STEM.
Together, they explore the unique challenges and opportunities facing Latinas in engineering, the critical role of mentorship and leadership development, and how SHPE and SWE are collaborating to strengthen the STEM pipeline.
The discussion also highlights the importance of advocacy—both locally and nationally—in ensuring Hispanic voices help shape the future of STEM.
