Q: What inspired you to become an engineer?

and MacGyver inspired me because my dad is an engineer and I look to up to him and I

saw the practicality of engineering in MacGyver’s show.


Q: What obstacles have you faced with your career?

A: I can’t think of one. Well, Mondays are an obstacle. I don’t like waking up on

It’s probably because it’s after a weekend and I want to sleep in.


Q: How does your current job affect your life?

Q: How does your relationship with your co-workers affect your job?

A: Well, I have this stalker at work. It gets very distracting! First, he is not very attractive

and has kids my age. Second, I continuously have to reject him. I even made my best

friend my fake boyfriend. During my vacation in Cancun I even bought an engagement

ring, a cheap one of course. Unfortunately, I get along with all my co-workers and have

to deal with them teasing me about this old stalker guy. But then again they also help me

avoid him. Does that answer your question?
