    So, You Want to Be An Engineer – Intro Episode with Ashley Henriquez

    In this heartfelt and motivating intro episode, host Ashley Henriquez, an electrical engineer, shares her unconventional journey into the field of engineering. Far from the stereotypical path, Ashley opens up about dropping out of high school to support her newborn daughter, earning her GED, and navigating college while working full-time and parenting. She discovered engineering at an unconventional job — as an administrative assistant at a small engineering firm, where her curiosity and natural problem-solving abilities inspired her to pursue the field. With no strong foundation in math, she started from the basics— relearning algebra and building up to complex engineering concepts over time. The podcast intends to serve as a step-by-step guide through the essential math and technical skills needed in engineering—from algebra to advanced topics like calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. But beyond academics, the podcast emphasizes growth in resilience, confidence, and purpose—addressing topics like imposter syndrome, burnout, and finding one's voice in engineering. The podcast is as much about becoming as it is about learning — making engineering accessible and human, especially for those starting from unconventional or challenging beginnings.
