What’s the best advice you’ve ever heard and why?
“Learn something about everything, and everything about something” I love this quote because education is such an important part of who I am, and it reminds me that there is always something to be taken from every conversation, project or failure.
How did you become interested in this field?
In college, I stumbled into engineering after narrowing down the things I knew I did not want to do. A fear of blood meant no to the medical field and I wasn’t outgoing enough to take on a sales job. My love of math and science meant engineering was a logical fit and the analytical, problem solving aspects of structural design kept me hooked.
