Biography

Growing up, I always knew I liked to solve problems; I would take things apart to figure out how they were made. I did not know that what type of career was attainable until I found out about civil engineering. Now, I will be the first engineer in my family. I am currently attending UT Arlington to get my Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering. I am active in Engineers without Borders (EWB), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). In the future, I plan on getting my Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering because I want to understand the theoretical aspect of structures at a deeper level, and I am interested in the safety of buildings and infrastructures. I hope to learn and get real hands-on experience from my well-experienced superiors here at ACPA, and I appreciate the opportunity to work with them.
