In March of 2022, according to a press release, Guillaume was one out of 51 students to receive a 2022 Brooke Owens Fellowship.
The press release described the fellowship as “a nationally-acclaimed nonprofit program recognizing exceptional undergraduate women and other gender minorities with space and aviation internships, senior mentorship, and a lifelong professional network.”
According to Penn State College of Engineering News, Guillaume also received the Patti Grace Smith fellowship, which enabled her to complete an internship with space technology company Maxar Technologies. Plus, it allowed her to receive guidance and mentorship.
“Mya is someone who thrives in the midst of a challenge,” said Guillaume’s mentor Lauren Griggs, MEP director, the college reported last year. “She brings an unparalleled level of confidence, enthusiasm and passion to each and every one of her commitments. She has a fire and determination that I know will fuel her success in the aerospace engineering field.”
While at Penn State, she’s not only held her internship at Maxar but she’s also been involved in the Multicultural Engineering Program.
