Twingineering
We are Victoria and Vanessa Liera! We are first generation, Latina Electrical Engineers... and yes, we're twins. We were born and raised in the San Fernando Valley (Panorama City) in California. We both studied Electrical Engineering and obtained a minor in Theatre and Dance at UC Davis. We wanted to create this podcast in hopes of being resources for other first generation minorities in Engineering and STEM by sharing our experiences & knowledge with you as we go through life, college, and industry.
