From the South Side of Chicago. A product of my environment.
“I started at the University of Illinois through the College of General Studies, thinking initially that I’d want to transfer into Computer Science because the movie War Games was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. But, I took an Introduction to Engineering class that allowed us to explore each discipline within engineering. That is where I learned that I really enjoy the electrical and hardware side of computers. It is what made me pick Electrical Engineering when I transferred into the Grainger College of Engineering. Now I am a full-time engineer working at Radio Flyer, a world-renowned children's brand with over 100 years of experience.”
