Zyrah Munoz Rulloda
Grade: Gap year
Province or Territory: Alberta
Organization/program: Quantum Leaps (SCWIST)
What does being part of this organization or program mean to you?
Being part of Quantum Leaps gives me the ability to explore my future in STEM, where I can work on projects I genuinely enjoy and research things that interest me. I really value that sense of empowerment and girlhood I feel around my peers there too; surrounded by people with the same mindset as I do. It makes me feel confident and not alone, and that there is a place for me in a STEM field. Gotta love my mentors too! Always there to help us out with anything.
What part of attending the 2026 Youth Summit and Expo are you most excited about?
Meeting new people and different organizations. I’m really excited for the hands-on workshops where I can really step into the experiences and figure things out with other people!
What excites you about STEM?
I love it when something clicks in my head and it all makes sense. Like those “aha!” moments :-)
Fun fact about me:
My favourite authors are Mitch Albom and Fredrik Backman!
