Who was/is your mentor and how did s/he influence/help you in your career?
I have been lucky enough to have more than one mentor, and they have all helped shape me; from how I interact with clients, colleagues, or peers, how to plan for my goals, and how to manage projects.

What led you to your current profession?
The design field requires creativity, critical thinking, and communication, and these were all things that pulled me toward this industry. I also had a lot of strong role models when I was growing up that I wanted to be like, and they all seemed to be in architecture, engineering, and construction. Designing important infrastructure that people use daily and having a creative outlet that requires solving problems all make for a very rewarding job.
