Women Who Reign: Karelys Lopez Rivera

“Success is not easy and I think everyone should know that hard work and perseverance and being open to giving back are so much more powerful than stepping all over people to get to the top.” by Misty Copeland

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I am 18-years-old, and I am studying Computer Science and Engineering in The University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. I am a first generation student. I was intrigued with the field of technology with the space program in elementary school. Ever since, my interest in science and engineering was sparked. I am an animal lover, and, for them, I look for cruelty-free products. I am obsessed with aerospace companies it’s my dream to work or have an internship with Space X or NASA.
A fun fact about me is that I did ballet for 4 years. I was doing STEM activities as well. I love both ballet and STEM and am dedicated to each one. My favorite movies are Star Wars and Star Trek. Again, I love space, haha! I love to read; it gives me ideas and keeps creativity running for when I need to put it into action with my programming skills and creating something just for fun or in a class.
