What made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in technology?
I realized in high school that I wanted to pursue a career in engineering. I loved physics and started to tailor my activities and classes to cater to an engineering career. At the University of Maine, I was drawn to the dynamic nature of engineering and technology — in this field you are rewarded by new challenges and opportunities for ingenuity.
What three adjectives would you use to describe your journey in the industry so far?
Serendipitous, adaptive, and intentional.
What is your personal mantra?
There are no time or age restrictions on learning; all that is needed is the want and willingness to learn.
Describe the highest point in your career so far and how you got there, including all the hurdles you had to jump (and the ones you tripped over and too).
The highest point in my career has been becoming an engineering project lead and presenting designs directly to the client. At HED, I have an opportunity to lead not only strategy but also fellow engineers as I collaborate with multiple teams to deliver best-in-class designs in a cutting-edge industry.
