Georgia Sandoval is an engineer at Intel. She is also Diné and a single mother. One aspect of her job that she sees as important is serving on the Diversity and Inclusion committee at work. Though Sandoval has had several Native American mentors, there are not a large number of Native Americans in tech. According to the 2018 Rebooting Representation report, Black, Hispanic, and Native American women combined hold 4% of computing jobs — though they represent 16% of the American population. “There’s a major underrepresentation of us out there. I’m one of two people in my group, the network platforms group, who I know of is Native American,” she said. “That’s why I’m on the D&I committee. I want to hire more people.” Native American mentors supported Sandoval throughout her career, and she hopes to do the same for others.

Mendocino College will support you in earning your STEM degree and transferring to the school of your choice. Come as you are and see what you become!
