I'm Angela Juranek. I'm a program
manager on the VIIRS program at Raytheon.
So VIIRS is a really fancy camera that
gives beautiful imagery of the earth.
VIIRS is the only weather instrument in
the world that could collect data day
and night, we're really able to check the
health of our earth. So as a kid growing
up I really liked math and I liked
science. The thing that I really liked
about math was that there was always one
answer and so when I went to pick my
field Electrical Engineering was the
closest to math. You can solve a problem, you
were able to get a definite answer and
so that I said you know what I'm gonna
give it a go and it turned out to be the
right field for me. So to the girls who
are not sure about a career in STEM, I
would tell them to think out of the box
because you don't have to know exactly
what you want to do today, you don't even
have to know it tomorrow. Explore the
different fields, explore what you like
you need to find something that you're
passionate about. When you find something
that you're passionate about you can be
happy doing it for the rest of your life.
