I come from a family of engineers, so it was never a question of engineering, but what type of engineer. During high school, I had a mentor that recommended I do the ACE Mentor program to get a better sense of what Civil/Structural engineering is like. During that program, I feel in love with the built enviroment and the industry. I thought I was going to end up on the project management side, but after a few summer internships on construction sites, I realized I wanted to know more about how the structure worked than I did about how it was put together.
