My name is Ruth Leisa Camejo, and my goal is to become a Chemical Engineer and develop sustainable solutions to the challenges we face as a population. As a society, we advance continuously in technology, yet not enough attention is given to doing so while keeping the health of our planet and our people in mind. I plan to be part of the force of upcoming engineers that prioritize sustainability. While I have yet to gain experience in the chemical industry, I have been developing essential skills during my 10 years in the professional workforce.
I am so honored to be able to attend this conference and be surrounded by other women who have overcome obstacles to reach their dreams. I’m excited to attend the panels, specifically “Chaotic Yet Symbiotic” which I’m expecting to be an inspiration of being our true selves while succeeding in our chosen field. I’d also love to explore companies that will be present and learn more about their sustainability initiatives and how we can mutually benefit from working together.
Already, with the GSU SWE Experience, I have met a group of spectacular women who are smart, determined, and dedicated. I can’t wait to reach the conference and be surrounded by so many others who share those same attributes.
