50 Stories for 50 Years | Story #9: Jose Villanueva - Unveiling the STEM Journey and Social Media Influence

SHPE Out Loud: Leading Hispanics in STEM

Welcome back to SHPE Out Loud, the podcast that elevates the voices of Hispanics in STEM. I'm Alex Wait, your host and producer, and today marks our 9th episode in the captivating "50 Stories for 50 Years" series. Join me in this insightful conversation with Jose Villanueva, known as @el.jorvi, a Hybrid Data Management Technical Specialist at IBM and a social media influencer with over 100,000 followers.

Jose's journey into STEM is anything but ordinary. Born in Bolivia, with STEM in his DNA, he shares his unique path guided by influential mentors and fueled by a passion for Industrial Engineering. From the University of Central Florida to becoming a content creator, Jose's story is one of resilience and community-building. We delve into topics ranging from artificial intelligence to the inspiration behind the name "Jorvi" and the creation of content that resonates globally with the Hispanic community.

Thank you, Jose, for sharing your compelling story and insights. Your mentorship within and beyond SHPE is truly remarkable, and we can't wait to see you in LA! Listeners, make sure to follow @eljorvi for more inspiring content and smiles.
