Working as Quality Engineer at Nikkiso Cosmodyne.
Something I loved was having a space on campus, the Stem Lab, where I always knew I could find support and community. It made me realize how important it is to have that 3rd space.
The peer mentors and alumni were very helpful during the transition. It was cool to know there are other people who went through the same process with success.
As an engineer it’s pretty fun to be building plants that help entire communities and countries develop. Traveling around the world meeting different people while working towards the same goals is fun.
Apply to everything you can, don’t reject yourself before letting them say yes. Not everyone gets to work for the big companies and the smaller ones usually have better opportunities.
Talk to your professor they want you to be successful.
Study more and think about why you are doing things instead of doing it blindly.
