Amanda Alvarado
Optimization Engineer
To me, women in engineering means being fearless in the pursuit of your passions. I was the little girl who always had more Lego sets than Barbie dolls and who had a passion for math and science. I’m proud that I stuck with it and followed my dreams. As a woman engineer, I hope to help motivate girls today to be the next generation of incredible engineers.
