Zuri Venegas Garcia

I am from Denver, Colorado and I am not a city girl at all. St. Olaf has definitely helped with proving that I am a small town girl! I have always known that I wanted to be in STEM but never thought that I would be in so many different leadership positions. I think of myself as a big introvert person, but when it comes to helping others out or standing up for those that can’t, I am the most extroverted person. I love finding myself in leadership positions where I am able to help stand up for those that can’t. I strive to always find something that I am most passionate about as well as something that challenges me to be better and continue to grow. As a member of the Natural Science and Mathematics Student Action Team, I hope to be a voice for other women in STEM and someone that other women can look to for help in making a change. Whether that change be now or in the future, I want to make sure that it continues to grow in support from other communities as well.
