What simple thing still blows your mind?
Our ability to communicate with people on the other side of the world. The fact that the phone in my pocket is more powerful than the technology we used to put a man on the moon.
What color describes your personality?
Yellow
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to rule the world…I’m almost there ;) All kidding aside, I knew from a pretty young age that I wanted to be an engineer. I feel lucky that I’ve always known what I wanted to do.
What’s a quote you choose to live by?
“Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don’t let these feelings stop them.” - T. Harv Eker
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I don’t have a lot of spare time because I do a lot of volunteering, but when I do have spare time, I’m usually crafting or meal prepping for the next busy week.
If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
I’d love to go back to Mexico
Who is someone you look up to and why?
Anyone 6 foot or taller. Why you ask? They are taller than me ;)
