An accomplished Applied Engineering Science fall semester graduate from Michigan State University’s College of Engineering was featured recently in a FOX TV broadcast.
Leah Flores-Cabrera, a member of MSU’s 2023 Homecoming Court, shared with Lansing’s FOX 47 how she overcame odds to accomplish her engineering dreams on campus.
Flores-Cabrera was born in Mexico and raised in the Metro Detroit suburbs. She minored in Supply Chain Management and is passionate about topics like business education, technology, travel and shortening the racial wealth gap.
“I might have been treated differently coming from a less privileged background,” Flores-Cabrera told FOX 47. “But despite being in spaces like that, I still made it to the same place as others who had more privileges.
