Why did you go into structural engineering?

I have always had a passion for designing and constructing. Structural engineering in particular really clicked for me when I went on a job shadow of a structural engineer as part of a middle school project. I saw a SAP model for the first time and toured the new Seattle Transit Tunnel, and I knew the field was a perfect fit for me.

Little Known Fact

I am an amateur board game designer.

Why did you go into structural engineering?

After working in IT for 5+ years, I wanted to do something that produced more tangible results. I always enjoyed building & design in addition to math and science. Structural engineering seemed like a perfect combination of those skills. I love the fact that I can see a building and know that I had a role in creating it.

Little Known Fact

I spent 3 weeks in Russia as a high school exchange student in February of 1995.

Why did you go into structural engineering?

During summers in high school, I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity in eastern Washington. I’ll never forget the feeling of accomplishment; seeing the house take shape as we framed the walls, and lifted the trusses into place. This love of building, paired with an affinity for physics and math, and structural engineering was a perfect fit.

Little Known Fact

I once did a solo bike trip down the coast of Tasmania. Saw plenty of wombats, wallabies and echidnas, but no Tasmanian devil!

Why did you go into structural engineering?

I grew up loving math and physics and building things with my older brother. When he went into civil engineering and brought home assignments from college, I was immediately drawn to the structural ones. Growing up the Bay Area I always wanted to work in SF and loved the idea I could contribute to the skyline, so it all came together with structural engineering.

Little Known Fact

I’m an avid sewer and crafter and love trying out new projects.

Question of the Day

What were you going to be when you grew up?

I distinctly remember wanting to be an ambassador to Japan (mostly so I could meet Sailor Moon). I even convinced my parents to let me take a DVC College for Kids course in Japanese in 4th grade to help my chances. I was not very good at it, but I can still count to 10.

Why did you go into structural engineering?

I took a circuitous route to get here from fashion designer to pre-med to management consultant to mechanical engineer and finally structural engineer. Though it took me a while to get here it makes me even more certain I’m in the right place. It’s the perfect combination of technical background, creative problem solving, teamwork, and big picture impact that I crave!
