    Current employment status.

    Working as Flight Software Engineer at Honeywell International.

    Something I loved about being part of the STEM Program.

    I loved the support and community of the STEM program. 

    A resource or support program that help you in your transition from the community college to your transfer university.

    Stem program itself, DACA program. 

    What is it like to now work as a software engineer in your field?

    As a software engineer it is very rewarding. Working in corporate can be a bit political. I love solving real world problems and working on commercial airlines/aircraft is almost like a public service. 

    Any advice to an aspiring engineer?

    Keep Going.

    Any STEM Shortcuts/hacks you can share? 

    Shortcuts are few and far between. Give your best despite the circumstances and it will pay off. 

    If you had to give advice to yourself when you first started at SMC, what would you say? 

    More networking, more focus, less frivolities. 

    Outside of STEM and related activities, what do you enjoy doing? 

    I enjoy bushwhacking with my dog in the forest or simply enjoying sights.
