Careers in quantum, build your own path! - Araceli Venegas Gomez

It is common to hear that once you study physics, you end up either doing research or going to industry. In a career path, there is no either or; your professional experience is built day by day by your choices and the skills you develop. I studied aerospace engineering and ended up working in industry, for the number one European multinational aerospace and defense corporation. At that time, my career development was settled, and I would have become one of the leading managers. However, I asked myself the questions: what do I want to do? What makes me happy? During this talk I will take you through my professional journey, how I built QURECA, and how we support the quantum ecosystem globally.
