Advice from a Veterinarian

Watch Violeta Garcia, Ph.D., STEM Activist and founder of STEM Learning By Design, share how her family fled El Salvador to America when she was a young child and how she started her life in America without knowing any English. She is a big believer in STEM careers because they pay well and will help to solve some of the world&#8217;s biggest problems of the future. She gets inspiration from a famous Mexican proverb, &#8220;they tried to bury us but they didn’t know we were seeds.”
