Mairim has a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering obtained in Venezuela, her country of origin. She has more than 20 years of engineering experience in the design and execution of complex projects in both Venezuela and Canada, covering oil and gas, pipeline distribution, manufacturing and most recently in the field of hydrometallurgy. Not only has Mairim shared her passion for engineering through active participation in Mentoring Programs since 2015, but she has also volunteered for organizations like United Way. Her pragmatism makes her an especially effective mentor as she guides engineers in balancing the practical aspects of career moves or navigating a language barrier, as she once had to do. Last year, Mairim launched this not-for-profit organization, Mujeres Omega Inc. IG: @mujeresomega, which profiles a role model for Latina women and focuses on providing opportunities for women to experience personal growth, networking, and thoughtful conversations.
