Replaying our episode with architect Cynthia Muñoz, principal at Stoecker and Northway Architects (Santa Clara, California) and Chair of the Board of Directors of the ACE Mentor Program of the San Francisco Bay Area.
We talk about: - Cynthia's path to becoming an architect and other career paths she considered before she transferred to the architecture program at UC Berkeley. - Her working experiences as an intern, designer, and eventually- principal. - The significant impact of Cynthia's mentors (two female, senior architects) and the lessons they taught her. - Why good design is important, but how you treat your team is crucial. - Cynthia's experience during the 2008-2009 economic downturn and how she managed the "teenage years" of her career. - How, as a leader, Cynthia managed projects during the pandemic and how mentorship has changed in a hybrid work format. - What the ACE Mentor Program is, how it helps students, why you should get involved as a student or mentor!
