LATEST PROJECT

Our Engineer's Journey

Reka Robinson’s hiring to host the series, “Our Engineer’s Journey,” was a testament to the growing demand for more diverse voices in STEM fields. Robinson brought a unique perspective to the table that highlighted the experiences of underrepresented groups. Her interviews with Debra Gore (the President and CEO of the Greenlining Institute) as well as Erin Hughes, Chloe Rastatter, who are the Young 501c3 founders of Solidarity Engineering offered insights into the challenges and triumphs of women in engineering. Mann, as the first woman to hold a leadership position in the Greenlining Institute, provided an example of breaking barriers in the industry. Meanwhile, Hughes, Rastatter, and the Young founders showed how engineering can have a positive impact on society, whether through environmental engineering or by aiding underserved communities.

Another highlight of the series was Robinson’s interview with Eileen Vélez Vega, who made history by becoming the first woman to hold the position of Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Public Works for Puerto Rico (DTOP by its Spanish acronym.) Vega’s journey was not only inspiring for women in engineering but for anyone pursuing a leadership position. With Robinson’s guidance, viewers were given an inside look into the lives of these groundbreaking women, providing a new level of representation in the industry. Ultimately, the “Our Engineer’s Journey” series highlighted the diverse stories of women in engineering and emphasized the importance of fostering a more inclusive environment for all aspiring engineers.
