In this episode of the Glam Chemist Podcast, I sit down with Camila Meza, a biopharmaceutical engineer at Johnson & Johnson, to discuss her journey into STEM, navigating cultural expectations as a Latina in science, and learning how to validate herself rather than constantly seeking approval from others.
Camila shares how she originally dreamed of becoming a pediatrician before unexpectedly finding her passion in biopharmaceutical engineering and gene therapy. We also talk about the realities of representation in STEM, the pressure to follow more traditional career paths, and what it’s like working in a field that many people still don’t fully understand.
This conversation is honest, inspiring, and full of reminders that your path does not have to look like everyone else’s to be meaningful. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, changing direction, or feeling like you had to prove yourself, this episode is for you.
Tune in for a conversation about science, resilience, identity, and the power of believing in yourself.
