"I've always brought my whole self to work. I haven't felt pressured to change or sacrifice myself in order to get ahead in my career. And, that's a message I carry to other women pursuing engineering careers. I’m a woman who likes football, going to the beach, sewing and engineering. Through participating in panels, networking events, and school tours, I get the chance to help break down stereotypes about engineering careers and the "types" of people who pursue them. It’s okay to be completely yourself and an engineer"
