In this episode, Cerise shares her journey from growing up in Rwanda to studying in the U.S. on a prestigious presidential scholarship. She talks about how her childhood dream of becoming a pharmacist shifted once she got to college and discovered engineering.

Cerise walks us through the culture shocks of moving to America, the transition into college life, and how a career fair led to the internship that eventually became her full-time role in Arkansas.

She also opens up about the realities of working as a young Black woman in a male-dominated field—imposter syndrome, discrimination, and what it takes to stand your ground. A story of grit, reinvention, and finding your lane in a new world.
