Hello, my name is Magdalena Cruz. I am currently a junior at University of North Texas majoring in Materials Science and Engineering.
My interest in engineering started since I was a child. Having a mechanical engineer as a dad, and an industrial engineer as a mom really got me involved in the engineering field. I was always interested in science and wanted to become a scientist. I did two semesters in Mexico at University of las Americas Puebla (UDLAP) and moved to Texas after finishing my first year of college. I was even more excited to complete my degree in another country, and that was one of my biggest challenges I ever had.
After completing my bachelor’s degree, I aim to pursue a master’s in Nanotechnology, and my dream job would be working on research to create new polymers made out of biomaterials.
