  • S3 Ep 14: Olivia Gonzalez, Economist
    2024/11/21

    Olivia Gonzalez is an economist at the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in the Office of Strategic Management and Enterprise Integrity, where she conducts regulatory economic analysis, supports the evaluation of SBA programs, and leverages data and evidence as strategic assets to drive decisions. She co-leads the SBA’s Evidence and Evaluation Community of Practice which is intended to promote a culture of learning and evidence-based decision-making throughout the agency. Olivia has over 10 years of experience in researching and analyzing macroeconomic and microeconomic data from diverse sources, developing metrics, and synthesizing research in professional journal articles, research papers, and briefings. Before the SBA, Olivia worked on national statistics at the Bureau of Economic Analysis and public policy analysis at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University (GMU).

    Olivia is a part-time PhD candidate at GMU and is exploring the economics of discrimination using advanced econometric methods in her dissertation. She earned her B.S. and M.A. degrees in economics from GMU. She also holds an A.S. in Business Administration from Northern Virginia Community College.

    Olivia was a Frederic Bastiat Fellow at the Mercatus Center from 2019 to 2022 and received the American Planning Association’s Holzheimer Memorial Student Scholarship in 2017 for her work on home-based business regulations. Olivia also serves as a board member of the JP Innovation Project, a nonprofit that helps connect high-need youth with education and training opportunities in the tech field.

    Olivia has published research on economic development, fiscal, and zoning policies. Although her research interests are widespread, she is ultimately very passionate about evidence-based policy, economic education, and analyzing how public policies influence equity.

  • S3 Ep 13: Celena Michaud, Electrical Engineer
    2024/11/14

    Celena Michaud is an Electrical Engineer at Avalanche Energy, a nuclear fusion startup developing a compact fusion device capable of providing clean, renewable energy for use in distributed and remote systems such as underwater vehicles and satellites. Her work includes designing experimental hardware, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems to support fusion research and experiments.

    While studying Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Georgia, Celena discovered her fascination with the intersection between low-level systems hardware and software. She completed an undergraduate co-operative education program at Gulfstream Aerospace, where she gained experience in real-time flight simulation and experimental flight test instrumentation. Driven by her commitment to sustainability, she later joined Avalanche Energy, drawn to the company’s innovative approach to fusion technology and renewable energy.

    When the work day is done, Celena enjoys participating in endurance sports including triathlons and half marathons, motivated mostly by her enjoyment of making pasta from scratch. She is also dedicated to making STEM careers more accessible to underrepresented groups. She advocates for greater awareness of the opportunities available with STEM degrees and encourages open conversations around building confidence among women in engineering.

    Dr. Daisy Rosas Vargas identifies as first generation indigenous (Mexica) and Latine born in what is called the United States. She is a chemist, science communicator, and educator who enjoys sharing the wonders of chemistry and science with the future generation. She used her voice to represent and advocate for the underrepresented students in the college classroom, as a former professor at a small liberal arts college. Her current focus, since making a career change, is making science accessible and relatable through projects like ‘Chemists in the Kitchen’ with the National Academy of Sciences, ‘Drawing with Dr. Daisy’ with the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY, and ‘REAL Chem’ with Arizona State University and Carnegie Mellon University. Daisy wants to open doors to those behind her so their career journey is more attainable and welcoming.
