As a future Civil Engineer, I aim to contribute meaningfully to the development of sustainable, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure that addresses the growing challenges of urbanization, climate change, and resource scarcity. I also aim to help with water management systems in areas where it is not suitable. My primary goal is to design and implement projects that not only meet present needs but also support future generations. I am particularly interested in sustainable transportation systems, green building technologies, and water resource management—areas where engineering can directly improve quality of life and environmental health.
I aspire to work on projects that promote innovation and sustainability, such as smart cities, renewable energy integration, and disaster-resistant structures. I want to be part of multidisciplinary teams that collaborate to solve complex problems, ensuring that communities have access to safe roads, clean water, reliable transportation, and eco-friendly infrastructure.
Another goal is to gain licensure as a Professional Engineer (P.E.), which will allow me to take on greater responsibility and leadership roles. Another goal is to get my FE exam passed so I can start my engineering career. Long-term, I hope to mentor young engineers, contribute to public policy, and advocate for ethical and sustainable engineering practices on a broader scale.
Ultimately, I want my work to have a lasting, positive impact—engineering solutions that stand the test of time while improving everyday life for people. Through continuous learning, practical experience, and community engagement, I aim to be a civil engineer who not only builds structures but helps build a better, more equitable world
