I’ve been told I ask too many questions and am ”too much” and “difficult”. So, I made that into a career. From community college to power plants to a PhD in biomechanics, my curiosity is my through line. Engineer, educator, entrepreneur; all titles I’ve held but more importantly, roles I’ve learned from. Join for a discussion on career pivots, decisions, highs and lows, and an ultimately rewarding path. We’ll talk about “industry” roles as an engineer and scientist, grad school, blending academic and industry research, asking too many questions, and having fun.
