This is a 1:1 conversation with Sofia Pantoja, recent Aerospace graduate from University of Southern California (USC).  Our conversation dives into her path and discovery about how she found engineering being her true path. It all began with watching STAR TREK: Next Generation and getting immersed in some of that fantasy that ultimately led her to STEM.We touch on some of her favorite moments with her favorite club at USC, Rocket Propulsion Lab (RPL) team. She spent many hours having fun and learning as she made things work. Ultimately, she landed a full-time position and is currently an employee at SpaceX. It’s NOT luck, her dedication and persistence have led her to being prepared and take opportunities as they come. Great conversation with Sofia Pantoja.#professional #STEM #leadership #empower #persistence #preparation #determination #networking #shpe #shpefamilia #RPL #USC #SPACEX
