We hear from VIRY MARTINO, who has led major projects such as the San Diego International Airport Terminal 1 (about to open in September 2025), The Cross Border Xpress (Bridge connecting the Tijuana Airport with Otay Mesa in the US). Her career at Turner Construction Company began before graduating USC; it was due to her engagement and participation in SHPE convention.
She has a Masters in Construction Engineering Management and a Civil Engineering degree. She shares her path as a young college student going from Instituto Tecnologico de Tijuana to Southwestern Community College leading to USC!!! The very important role SHPE played from a very early stage at Southwestern led to major success through USC as well; she is now reconnecting with this major organization back in San Diego.
Her mentors are Lori Ann Stevens, Raga Bakhiet (previous MESA director at Southwestern Community College)

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
