Advice :First, embrace every opportunity for growth—whether it’s through internships, research, networking, or simply stepping outside your comfort zone. The journey ahead will be full of challenges, but each obstacle is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and refine your skills. Second, build meaningful connections. The people you meet—mentors, peers, and industry leaders—will play a huge role in your career. Be intentional about seeking guidance, collaborating, and paying it forward to those coming behind you. Third, don’t be afraid to pivot or explore new fields. Your career path may evolve in unexpected ways, and that’s okay. I started in computer and electrical engineering, gained experience in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud computing, and am now merging those interests with biomedical engineering and renewable energy. Your unique background is your strength—own it. Lastly, believe in your impact. Whether you're launching a project, breaking barriers in your field, or uplifting your community, your voice and contributions matter. Stay curious, persistent, and fearless—your potential is limitless.
