Next on our Conference Ambassador Highlight series, Great Minds in STEM is proud to highlight Omar Navar, a Computer Information Systems student with a Cybersecurity option at California State University, Los Angeles. 🔐💻

Driven by a lifelong passion for technology, Omar has focused his academic and professional journey on cybersecurity, digital forensics, and blue team operations. This summer, he will continue building his experience as a Cybersecurity Intern at Raytheon. 🚀

Some of Omar's accomplishments include:
🎓2025 GMiS STEM Scholar
🛡️Incoming Cybersecurity Intern at Raytheon
🤝Active member and mentor in the Mission X Cybersecurity Club
🏆Participant in cybersecurity competitions and Capture-the-Flag (CTF) challenges

When he's not studying cybersecurity, Omar enjoys working on his homelab, helping fellow students prepare for technical challenges, spending time with family and friends, exploring hiking trails, and catching the latest movies.

Looking ahead, Omar hopes to build a career in the aerospace or government sector, specializing in cybersecurity compliance and digital forensics while pursuing a graduate degree in cybersecurity or information systems.

Thank you, Omar, for representing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals and STEM leaders! 🌟

🌟 Ambassador Spotlight: Gael Hernandez 🌟

Great Minds in STEM is excited to continue our GMiS Conference Ambassador spotlight series with Gael Hernandez, a senior in Aerospace and Aeronautical Studies at The University of Texas at El Paso. 🚀

Gael’s passion for engineering started with curiosity — figuring out how things work and how to push them even further. Today, that passion has led him to leadership, innovation, and hands-on industry experience.

✈️ Vice President of UTEP’s AIAA student chapter
🏆Helped lead the DBF team to 48th in the world at the Design/Build/Fly competition
💼Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Raytheon

Outside of engineering, Gael enjoys working on JDM cars, playing guitar and bass, DJing, and spending time with his cat, Eepy. 🐱

As a GMiS Ambassador, Gael hopes to inspire students from similar backgrounds to see themselves at the forefront of the aerospace industry and beyond.

His message: “You don’t have to fit into a single box to be a great engineer. Embrace everything you're passionate about, put in the late-night work, and the results will speak for themselves. After all, ‘fortune favors the bold.’”
