Natalia Urbas '23
Nuclear engineer and STEM mentor
Our 2023 winner is Natalia Urbas, who provided this brief bio:
I
am a senior studying Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell
University. At Cornell, I am involved in Navy ROTC, cooperative housing
and am working on a thesis in
computational Materials Science. Next year, I will commission as an
officer in the US Navy. I will be working as an engineer at Naval
Reactors, the department responsible for the research and regulation
surrounding the Navy's nuclear energy program. I am passionate about
inclusion for women of color in the sciences, and I hope to use my
experience to support young girls interested in STEM. In my free time, I
enjoy rock climbing, wrestling and cooking.
A full bio will be available soon.
