Broadcom Volunteers – Diane Norris
Volunteer Highlights
“We Need Students to Solve Critical Problems with STEM Now and in the Future”
Diane Norris, SW Engineering Automation Architect at Broadcom Software, grew up loving science, math, and puzzles – anything to explain the world around her. She took STEAM classes in middle and high school, but they were at small, rural schools with limited resources. There wasn’t a science fair or STEAM professionals to emulate in her community. And no one suggested women could become engineers or computer scientist.
“I had no idea that building rockets, robots and software were paths open to me, and I needed a lot of luck to eventually find my way to a career in software, solving large-scale enterprise infrastructure challenges,” said Diane.
