18. Thermal engineer Zaida Hernandez on how to get a job at Nasa The Invernadero Mind Podcast

My guest today is living her dream life, she graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. she also has a Master’s in Industrial Engineering.

And is currently working at NASA full-time as a thermal engineer, she works on super cool projects including the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), which is a rover going to the moon in 2023 and the Artemis Program doing thermal analysis and susbsystem management for Orion.

Through her platforms she hopes to inspire and guide other women who are interested in following a career in STEM or wish to connect with other women in science. We discuss representation, discrimination, and the challenges she encountered as a young woman in this field. Guys she is also a Libra, you will learn in this interview that her and I share the same birth day, so that added to my already biased opinion about her! Let's welcome Zaida Hernandez.
