Hi everyone! I'm Melanie Lobos and I’m a freshman at Harper College, currently pursuing my associate in engineering sciences with future plans to transfer into a 4-year university.
As an advocate for all things STEM, I find immense joy in sharing my passion for women in STEM. Originally from Guatemala, I made the decision to move to the U.S without my family in November of 2021. Since then, the endless opportunities here have fueled my deeper involvement in STEM, like attending conferences around the U.S talking about my experience and advocacy.
My journey with the Exelon Foundation STEM Academy began in 2022 as a participant. Now that I am an alumna of the program it has led me to keep being involved as a mentor at the summer academy as well as a mentee in the STEM Academy Mentorship Program. I have also been involved as a STEM Academy Ambassador for the past 2 years. Exelon has been a doorway to fantastic opportunities, including networking events and impactful programs that have built my leadership and public speaking skills.
