As an environmental engineering graduate of FAU, I have been exposed to both theoretical and practical aspects of environmental engineering. I graduated in Fall of 2023 and also plan to take and pass the FE this Spring 2024. I plan on working towards my PE. Throughout my time as a student, I have had the opportunity to explore the various aspects of what it means to be an engineer. Along with my educational experience I have also been actively working in the hospitality industry. Through the role of a server in a restaurant I have developed my listening, interacting and production skills to best meet the demands of a challenging and high volume position. I believe that the interplay of my seemingly varying roles has given me the life challenges to best prepare me for my future endeavors in the engineering world.
