Hannah Fonseca

Hannah is a mechanical engineering student at USC with a minor in AI Applications, and she's excited to be this season's host of the Viterbi Voices podcast. Outside the studio, she conducts research in tumor analysis, leads a hardware project as part of USC Makers, and has interned at Medtronic, working on medical device innovation. She also serves as Executive Vice President of the Society of Women Engineers, mentors underclassmen, and is a teaching assistant for an applied coding course. When she's not engineering or recording, Hannah loves finding new coffee shops, going to concerts, and exploring LA with friends. Through the podcast, she's excited to share real conversations that reflect the energy of USC's engineering community.

Paul Ledesma

In addition to this podcast, Paul serves as Executive Director of Undergraduate Admission at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.  He was born and raised in southern California and is a lifetime Dodgers fan. He enjoys traveling, discovering new restaurants in LA, watches way too many Food Network shows, and listens to podcasts every day. His current favorites are Smartless, Conan Needs a Friend, Up First from NPR, and The Daily. He studied Psychology for his bachelor's degree, minored in Public Management, and was active in leadership for community service groups Troy Camp and Dance Marathon while attending USC. When he's not working he enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and rescued pup and kitty in Redondo Beach, CA (well, maybe not the cat so much).
