Q. In 50 words or less, tell us your life story.<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0I was born and raised in southern California and graduated from the University of California, Irvine, with a degree in aerospace engineering. I\u2019ve always somehow felt that I would end up an engineer, and here I am in my first real engineering job.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Q. Tell us about an accomplishment or project that you are particularly proud of since starting at IMEG.<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0My mentor was gracious enough to let me take on my own project after I\u2019d gained enough experience. I handled everything from client relations, site visits, and designs. It was a small project, but the sense of responsibility (and not screwing it up) was huge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Q. What is one work\/life lesson you’ve learned early in your career?<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0If it takes less than five minutes to do, just do it now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Q. What excites you most about your career?<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0Two things:<\/p>\n
1) How much I don\u2019t know what I don\u2019t know. There\u2019s always something new to learn.<\/p>\n
2) Eventually making a name for myself and gaining the trust of clients<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Q. How do you spend your free time?<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0My free time is evenly split between indoor and outdoor activities. I enjoy taking hikes and going to the beach regularly. I also practice Krav Maga (a self-defense system) and fly drones. When I\u2019m not doing that stuff, I\u2019ll usually be inside tinkering with my 3D printer, playing PC games, or binging Netflix shows.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Q. If you weren’t a mechanical engineer, what would you choose to be and why?<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0Definitely a pilot. For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with airplanes and originally planned to become a commercial pilot – I even have some flight hours under my belt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2081,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
