Daniela Durón García

I am a recent Combined Plan graduate from Columbia University (BS in Mechanical Engineering) and Georgetown University (BS in Mathematics). Math and science have always been my favorite subjects from a very young age. The language barriers my parents faced being Mexican immigrants made it hard to look to them for advice and help on homework, yet their sacrifice and support made all the difference. I graduated as valedictorian from my high school and received scholarships to fully fund my college education. Like others, I want to make a difference in our world, but I want to do it by creating products or programs that will be revolutionary. I also hope to inspire others and aid them in their discovery of the wonderful world of STEM.
