What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to early inspiration and a sustained commitment to problem-solving. Growing up, I was inspired by my brother, an engineer, which sparked my own passion for engineering and ultimately led me to pursue a career in the semiconductor industry. Today, as an applications engineer, I draw on that foundation every day in a customer-facing role, where I focus on understanding complex challenges and delivering effective, practical solutions. With 11 years at the same company, I have built deep technical expertise, strong customer relationships, and a results-driven approach that continues to guide my professional growth.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is not to be afraid to take risks because you miss every opportunity you don’t pursue. That mindset has encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone, embrace new challenges, and grow both professionally and personally by being open to possibilities rather than letting fear hold me back.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are balance, perseverance, and a commitment to continuous growth. I believe in staying active and grounded, which is why I enjoy running, mountain hiking, and riding bikes—activities that reinforce discipline, resilience, and mental clarity. These same values carry over into my professional life, where I approach challenges with determination, adaptability, and a focus on long-term well-being and success.
