SHPE Out Loud: Leading Hispanics in STEM

In this special episode of SHPE Out Loud, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Joelle Romeu, a distinguished aerospace engineer from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Now based in Southern California and working at Boeing, Joelle has broken barriers and achieved incredible milestones throughout her career.

This full-length interview, originally recorded two years ago, marks a significant moment for our host, Alex Wait, as it was the first time he interviewed a Star Award winner for SHPE. In this episode, Joelle opens up about her journey—from her early curiosity about engineering to becoming a leader in the aerospace industry.

Her story is a testament to resilience, hard work, and the power of community. If you're looking for inspiration in STEM, Joelle’s journey will leave you motivated and empowered.

Tune in to hear Joelle discuss her challenges, triumphs, and the importance of mentorship and representation in STEM.
