Structural Engineering

a person that enjoys learning and making connections with people. I like things that stimulate my curiosity and challenge me. But without being all too serious, I love sharing memes, especially if their STEM-related.

The city I grew up in (Caracas), faced challenges in maintaining and creating new infrastructure. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be part of that process. In addition, I have a great fascination with architecture.

I don't have a job just yet. I guess I could consider my research project as a job. I like/enjoy doing research because there is a lot of creative freedom, I'm constantly learning new things and acquiring new skills.

Creating designs in CAD, simulating, researching documents, discussing ideas with faculty.

I am from Caracas, Venezuela, and I currently live in Miami. I come from an arts and design background; I graduated from Design and Architecture Senior High in 2015. And my first 2 years of college were focused on architecture. I later transitioned to civil engineering because I saw an opportunity to participate in a wider array of projects and I'm interested in research that focuses on the intersectionality of science, engineering, and design.

It has expended plenty of opportunities for me. I have made a lot of new friends; many of which I have collaborated with to do projects for ASCE. I have networked with working professionals and learned a lot about the industry. I have had the opportunity to hold an internship position and perform research activities. Overall has made a more well-rounded individual.

To briefly summarize the previous question, I am from Venezuela and moved to the states when I was bout 15 years old. Ever since I have made many transitions from different schools and areas of study. In high school, I focused on fine arts, such as painting and graphic design. When I entered college I realized the power design has on changing people's lives and went on to focus on architecture. I studied architecture design at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in Milwaukee, WI and Miami Dade College in Miami, FL. Upon the completion of my A.A., I transferred to Florida State University to study civil engineering. Here (FSU), is where most of my opportunities in STEM flourished. I am currently planning to study my Master's degree in structural engineering, and I cannot wait to see what the future will bring.
