In Wendy's time at Stony Brook, she plans on studying Computational Mathematics and Cybersecurity. In Wendy's free time, she likes to watch movies, read, shop, as well as hangout with family and friends. Before becoming a Simons STEM Scholar, Wendy Calderon participated in the program, Mathematical Modeling at Mercy College.
"I see myself leading the future of STEM by showing young women like me that they can do it — even if they’ve never seen someone who looks, talks, or acts like them in those spaces. I want to be part of the change that makes STEM feel like a place where they belong, not one they have to squeeze themselves into."
"I chose to become a Simons STEM Scholar because I knew I couldn’t build my future or find my way alone. I knew needed guidance, support, and a community that would help me on my journey. The Simons STEM staff has been that for me and with their help, I’m not as lost as I would’ve been without them."
