Summary

What are your plans after graduating?

After graduation, I plan to continue working at Nortech Geotechnical, a local civil and engineering consulting firm, as an engineer full time and gain experience to pursue my Professional Engineering License. I hope to continue to learn about engineering outside of academia and narrow my interests for pursuing graduate school.

What is the most important piece of advice you'd give to an incoming college freshman?

For an incoming freshman, the most important advice I have is to lead a balanced life. It is very easy to get sucked into the stress of college and life in general. Spending time doing things that make you happy are important! Find something that you are passionate about and grow as a person. With college being a transition to the real world, it is important to find yourself and discover what makes you happy!

Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?

In fifteen years, I hope to have a family and lead a happy, balanced life. I hope to be a Professional Engineer and work on projects that I am passionate about. I hope to be positively impacting the world. I could see myself starting my own geotechnical engineering consulting firm. Ultimately, I see myself being happy and enjoying life.
