Yuliana Garcia

Advanced Manufacturing URDP Intern @ Honeywell

About

I am a Junior at the University of Michigan, majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Material Science Engineering and I am more than eager to enter the field. As a Hispanic first-generation college student, I have leveraged every opportunity to my advantage as I continue to engage with any chance to build on my technical skills. This experience has largely shaped my unique perspectives and aspirations, as I take great pride my own resilience, determination and grit to succeed as an engineer.
