Today’s guest is Laura Prieto, a civil and environmental engineer from Colombia. When she got pregnant, she didn’t have any examples of other women in STEM who were successful in their career and had kids.
Now, after her second pregnancy, she set out to help other female professionals with that. She founded Sparkle STEM Connect, an online community and membership service for women in STEM to share their experiences as moms and engineers, as well as educate themselves on practical topics they’ll need in life.
What You’ll Learn:

The lack of role models for women — and the importance of sharing your experiences
How her podcast came to be and what the name means
