Professional Life

As I mentioned in other sections, I have always hated the "What do you want to be when you grow up?" question. Each time I was asked the question, I found that my answers differed each time. My answers ranged from being a doctor to being a forensic scientist, to even just a "millionaire". This question has always and will always stress me out making me fear I do not choose the "right answer". Since childhood, the pressure has decreased with my values established.  My search went from looking for the singular "best" job to a variety of job options that would help me accomplish my goals of working with people and happiness.

​

My job search recently has been focused on consulting, both management and engineering. Consulting began to appeal to me because after some self-reflection, I realized that I enjoy solving problems, no matter what form they come in. Although a challenging and competitive field to enter, I have done my best to find success through networking and books that teach consulting self-study strategies.

​

Finally, my most up-to-date career update (as of April 2022) is that I will be interning at FM Global in Frisco, TX in Summer 2022. The role I will be performing is a Field Engineer Intern. I'm excited for this role as the work I have seen employees do perfectly blends consulting and engineering. I hope that this internship will lead provide me with a better grasp on what I want to do for my career and will be the first step of a successful professional career.
