Why did you go into Engineering?

I’ve always loved math and science and been queasy about anything having to do with the medical field – steel and concrete are about as far away as you can get. I love how the structural engineering field is community-oriented, and I look forward to seeing the difference we make collectively.

Little Known Fact

I studied abroad in Singapore during undergrad. The exchange was filled with adventures like exploring the Niah caves, seeing an orangutan, and eating lots of hot pot.

Question of the Day

What is your favorite Requiem?

The Berlioz Requiem! The timpani rolling, the trumpets singing from the balconies, the choir soaring above the rumble - its truly a masterpiece. Be sure to check out movement 2, Dies Irae.
