Karla Togawa

Karla Togawa is a sophomore at the University of Arizona, studying Mining Engineering. In her high school career, SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers), a UA club, came to teach STEM workshops, igniting a passion for engineering in Karla. Determined to spread that same passion for STEM back to her community, she joined WISE in their IYSF program and is elated to see young women grow to bridge the gap between underrepresented groups and STEM. Karla is excited to move forward in mining, focusing on lessening the environmental and social impacts mines often cause, ensuring that the industry moves forward sustainably. Beyond school, Karla loves watching her garden flourish and taking her dogs on hikes.
