decades of partnership boost hispanic leadership in STEM

Paula Diaz Luengo was born in Venezuela and immigrated to the United States with her family when she was 15. The move was exciting, but it posed many challenges, such as learning to navigate college entrance exams and applications.

The stakes were even higher when she got to the University of Houston, where she majored in petroleum engineering. As she advanced in her studies, she needed support to network, write a resume, prepare for interviews and land a job. That's when she discovered the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) student chapter-which set her on a path toward her dream career.

Today, Diaz Luengo is a data analyst at Chevron-and serves as the director of the Chevron Hispanic Recruitment Team. Now it's her turn to help make dreams come true for others.
