As part of Rising Stars: AAPI, the oSTEM D&I team strives to share the diverse stories and experiences of members of the AAPI community at the intersection of LGTBQIA+ in STEM. As the first in our AAPI series, Eric Kwok (he/him/his) shares what it has meant to him to be both first-generation Chinese-American and queer. From East Coast to West Coast and down to the South, in this video, Eric explores the ways in which his identities have shaped how he shows up in life, work, and family. An electrical engineer at Raytheon and the Director of Design & Social Media on oSTEM’s Marketing and Communications Committee, we invite you to learn more about Eric and his journey!
