Hi, I’m Daniela Reyes, a Mechanical Engineering senior at UTEP (Class of 2026). I’m exploring careers that blend manufacturing and design here in the Borderplex region.

Hello! I’m Marcus Villalobos, graduating from UTEP’s Hunt School of Business with a degree in Finance in 2025. I’m curious how the El Paso-Juarez binational market shaped your early career choices. Any advice on breaking into finance from a border-region school? I really appreciate your guidance!
Hi, my name is Ana Sofia Chavez, a Metallurgical and Materials Engineering student at UTEP, graduating 2026. UTEP’s mining program is legendary, and I’d love to know how you chose between fieldwork and lab-based roles after graduation. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me!
