My name is Miguel Rivera, and I am an undergraduate student in the IES UTSA P20 Pathways to Education program. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry. Through this program, I am exploring the power of education. Growing up as part of an underrepresented community, I once felt that pursuing a field like engineering was out of reach. Now, I hope to support and inspire underrepresented students in STEM by engaging them in project-based learning and showing them the possibilities that they can achieve.
