Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college and any internships or jobs you had before your current role?
When I started college, I immediately enrolled in the civil engineering program. Prior to starting, I knew that's what I wanted to do. My father is a civil engineer, or my grandfather is a civil engineer, and my dad is a land surveyor. They always introduced me to those concepts, so going into college, it was my clear choice.
While in college, I worked part-time as a barista at Pete's Coffee and Tea. This job taught me how to handle pressure and high-intensity environments.
Then, I started an internship in my fourth year of college. This internship was with Siegfried, the company where I was later hired full-time. I've been with them ever since.
