What I Do I am currently working as a software engineer! I write code to create new feature in apps and fix things that are not working as expected. I also spend a lot of time collaborating with and talking to other people!
Why Engineering? I have always loved math and science because I love problem solving. I especially love physics because the problem solving that you do is directly applicable to the real world! I always thought it was so cool to be able to perform calculations and then set up experiments that verified those calculations. Now, as a software engineer, I am constantly problem solving pretty much every day at work and I really enjoy getting to do that.
Best Part I've gotten to meet so many amazing and talented people by working remotely whom I never would have had the chance to meet otherwise. I would not be the engineer I am today without my learnings from all of the people that I've met and all the folks who believed in and supported me.
Proud Moments Landing my first software engineering role! I was so nervous to interview since I didn't have any internships on my resume and had never done a software engineering interview when I was applying right before I graduated college. I am so thankful to the company that hired me and the opportunities it has allowed me to pursue since that first job.
Want to be an Engineer? Don't be afraid to ask for help! Whether it be from friends, family, teachers, tutors, coworkers, managers, whomever! I personally learn so much faster when I am working with other people and I definitely would not have gotten to where I am today all on my own.
Hobbies I play a lot of sand volleyball! Many of my weekends are taken up by sand volleyball. I also love yoga and am a yoga instructor at studio in town. When I'm at home you can find me reading a book (almost always sci-fi), watching something on tv, or gaming!
