Mirta Reyes Ruiz

I have been in my current position since 2018, which means I've been doing this work for 7 and a half years now. My background is related to validation and qualification of equipment as an engineer, and right now I'm executing activities that are directly related to that expertise. What really inspires me in this field is the way that I can help people. For example, I worked on the COVID vaccine project with Johnson & Johnson, and that was a big responsibility, but I was so grateful to know that I was helping people to be in better health. I attribute my success to being a transparent and honest person, but also having the attitude to learn about new things and pursuing growth in my technical knowledge. That technical field knowledge has helped me a lot in my career. Throughout my journey, I've had mentors, especially women who were in positions that are more dominated by men, and they gave me good advice about not feeling less than the men because we add value to the business in equal ways that they do.
