A First Gen Mexican American’s perspective
Recently I posted in response to my good friend Stephanie’s LinkedIn post asking for tips for her first post-college job. I encourage you to read it and to add any advice you’d like to add! Brittanny – another incredible friend, encouraged me to make it a post of its own. Tiene razón, let’s amplify our collective wisdom!

Si Se Pudo?
This week was the last week of classes of the last quarter of undergrad.
For those of you with me since the early days, you know that I’ve been through so many ups and downs, and so many ups that were actually downs, and so, so many rock bottoms. Some day, I may tell you the full chisme, osea the ‘not the autobiography’ autobiography. Aveces, osea siempre, in my world, a way out is always a…

The Most Deafening Sound is Silence
The Most Deafening Sound is Silence
I’ve read too many tweets, threads, LinkedIn posts, etc. where as soon as a Black person posts about their pain there are comments by those in the Latino, Asian, and all non-Black communities that jump in and say “What about us?!” I’ve seen chats where females try to prioritize their trauma as sexual abuse/assault survivors over the Black Lives Matter movement.
I speak from the perspective…

An update on Week 1 of Zoom University
It’s Friday morning and this week has felt like it has lasted FOREVA! Yesterday I had a moment of panic not being able to remember if it was Wed or Thurs until I remembered that I had just done Wed lectures. You know your life has changed fundamentally when you mark the days with which zoom lectures you’ve attended. 😅

To (now Online) College Students – You need a plan to succeed
In the midst of the pandemic, first responders are struggling to keep our fellow Americans healthy; service workers have lost wages and tips; many of us are or will face the loss of a loved one; and many of us are trying to figure out how to keep the fridge stocked and a roof over our heads. Those are all incredibly difficult and life altering problems.
And so is the real issue of dealing with an…

Finding Community @Tech Intersections
Finding Community @Tech Intersections
Finding spaces where you feel welcome and understood can be hard for many of us. We come from a diverse set of experiences and at times that can make it really hard to relate to others which can lead to the feeling of being an outsider.
I spent the first two years at Stanford feeling like an alien, anxious of taking up space, and feeling emotionally raw each time someone asked me if I was a TA or…

The Importance of Normalizing "Failure" and Looking Back - The Path to Stanford
The Importance of Normalizing “Failure” and Looking Back – The Path to Stanford
Okay, get comfortable because I can tell this is going to be a long post.
Three years ago…
I was a first year at Stanford. I transferred in after attending many community colleges (a class here, a class there, or many failed attempts of trying to go back to school).
The years leading up to Stanford:
As an 18 yo HS grad -> attended Loyola Marymount University but for many reasons I had to drop out…

Write/Speak/Code a Latinx In Tech Awakening
I’ve been floundering for the last x years.
When I was growing up I kinda knew I was smart. But no one ever said this explicitly. I stole bits and pieces of this information from quick glances at transcripts that said Highly Gifted, at the comments that some teachers made about my “potential”. But no one explicitly said, “Susana, we will help you reach your potential.” Or we will explain what we…

Welcome back! Continuing with my First Timer’s Guide to Grace Hopper series. Make sure you read Part 1 of the series.
Celebrating #LatinxInAI News:
You know how when things go wrong we blame ourselves and when things go right we tend to minimize it and say things like, “no problem!”, “it was nothing!”, etc.?
This type of minimizing language tends to sneak up and in the spirit of being self-aware…

I’m Susana, mom to 3 amazing daughters, Latina in tech with much to say. I left a lucrative job in legal business development to pursue my undergrad computer science degree full time at Stanford.
Why you ask? Some may say I am a masochist but I say I am a life long learner that wanted to lead by example for my daughters and show them that fulfilling your long term goals is worth the hard work and…

Where I’ve Been + 1st day Senior year @Stanford
First, I’ve been super inconsistent with posting. I’d been taking several intensive creative writing classes at school and all of my efforts was poured into those courses. But happy to get back to writing. You will see a shift on what I write about, I will still share my experiences but I will also start writing about my technical experience and journey.
This has been a heck of a year with many…

How to raise children while not being an asshole
How to raise children while not being an asshole
I have been told many times, “You should write a book about raising children! Your girls are just magical!” And every time I heard that I thought, what a fraud I must be to let them think that I could be an authority on raising children. I’m afraid enough on how some day I may fuck up my own children, I really don’t need the stress of having rando 24 year old coming up to me to tell me how the…

You were supposed to lift us. I looked to you to save us. You’d gone so far already… Was it really that much to ask? But mother effer, this life is so cruel it doesn’t abide by our rules Why won’t you do my bidding? SO I won’t…
