Aibhlin Alexis Esparza
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
What is something that you are most proud of?
I am most proud of becoming the first woman engineer in my family. It wasn't easy
getting here, but with hard work and the support of my friends and family, I was able
to accomplish this.
Aibhlin's Words of Wisdom: Be honest at all times; even if it hurts. So many fights,
confusion, or misunderstandings could be avoided if you talk from the heart and truly
listen to the other side of things. I learned this lesson very well in both KDChi and
during college. Also, there is beauty in the struggle. Things will always be challenging;
life is so hard. But keep moving forward. You'll learn so much about yourself in the
process and you will come out stronger. You got this!
Future Plans & Goals: I will be going on to graduate school to obtain my Ph.D. in
Biomedical Engineering. I hope to work part-time at a biomedical device company while
going to school to gain work experience and industry exposure. With this, I hope to
continue growing my leadership skills in KDChi and the workplace. I also hope to go on
more hikes and explore nature!
