What is your ultimate career goal?: I hope to earn a PE license and continue to gain a broad range of experience in traffic analysis, design, and safety concepts.
What makes your story unique?: After high school, I earned a degree in a different field at my local university. I applied for jobs in that field for four years after graduation but was not hired. I felt uneasy about returning to school to study a new field in fear that I would have the same trouble finding a job. I researched career fields that sounded enjoyable to me but also had a positive job outlook. I was drawn to civil engineering because I love math and problem solving, find bridges and roadways to be interesting, and loved the idea of being able to directly improve my community. I graduated from ASU in 2020 and have been a Traffic Engineer for two years now.
