Hola Familia! Welcome to the 31st episode of SHPE Out Loud. Today’s episode is extra special as we feature our very first father-son duo on the podcast! Join us as we dive into the inspiring journey of Lazaro, a seasoned mechanical engineer at Northrop Grumman and a first-generation immigrant, alongside his 17-year-old son, Samuel. Samuel is already making waves as the president of the SHPE Junior Chapter at his high school, with aspirations in mechanical engineering, particularly in robotics and Disney animatronics. In this unique episode, we explore how Lazaro’s story of perseverance and giving back has shaped his family’s journey, and how Samuel is following in his father’s footsteps. It’s not every day that we get to hear from two generations in one interview, and I must say, it’s pretty cool! ?? https://lnkd.in/gjUv2NRu

Welcome back to SHPE Out Loud, the podcast dedicated to amplifying the voices of Hispanics in STEM. In this milestone 30th episode of our "50 Stories for 50 Years" series, producer Alex Wait introduces us to Ernesto "Ernie" Felix, the Chief of Staff & Human Resources at SHPE. Ernie has been part of SHPE for over two decades, bringing a wealth of experience and insight from his extensive career in the tech and financial sectors. Despite not being an engineer, Ernie has made significant contributions to the STEM industry, particularly through his expertise in corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Raised in the border town of Nogales, Arizona, Ernie's journey took a pivotal turn when he attended Arizona State University, where he first encountered the challenges of being considered a "minority." This experience prompted a deep exploration of identity and belonging, shaping his professional and personal life. ?? https://lnkd.in/gjUv2NRu
