How Latino Engineers are Shaping the Future of Infrastructure With Azael Garza

How Latino Engineers are Shaping the Future of Infrastructure With Azael Garza

Civil engineering shapes the world around us, but not everyone sees themselves in it. For some, finding role models who’ve been there is tough…and that’s exactly what Azael Garza had to overcome. 👇

Azael is civil engineer with a latino heritage that went from a small-town math student to launching his own firm and working for himself at Aztlan Engineering, all while keeping the memories of his ancestors alive.

In this episode, he dives into this solo journey and everything had to push through to get where he’s at right now given the lack of representation problem in the industry.

The FE and PE exams. The challenges of running a firm. What pushed him to finally go all in on building something of his own.

All of this as a Latino Civil Engineer in a small town in Georgia! 😲

So, if you’ve ever thought about starting your own thing one day, or you’re looking for a latino who’s carved out their own lane in this field, this episode is worth your time.

It’s honest, inspiring, and full of lessons you can immediately apply…from someone who’s walked the walk.

Go give it a listen!
