Brittany Chase Rodrigues

The 2008 NM Hispanic Youth Symposium reinforced to me the importance of continuing my education and pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. It helped me learn how to network with other people and gave me the confidence to be a mentor to my peers.

I also became more comfortable speaking with both college and corporate recruiters, the more opportunities I had to meet with them. This program really helped me build my confidence.
