Since I started collecting LEGO at 5 years old, I've always had an underlying drive to be creative. This joy for problem-solving, experimenting, critical thinking, and trying new things is what inspired me to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. Strengths in math and science didn't hurt either. Besides joining the forefront of innovation, I also hope to bring my talents of communication, leadership, and ethics to the field. I'm a great advocate for the value of well-roundedness and I strive to maintain an interdisciplinary education and life.When I'm not working to further my professional career, you can find me starting some new side project, snowboarding with my family, furthering my self-taught passion for digital art, and listening to Taylor Swift. Please feel free to contact me. It's always a pleasure to engage in insightful conversations or do some lyrical analysis!Check out my portfolio to see what I'm working on!https://sites.google.com/view/julia-abboud
