Q: What inspired you to become an engineer? Were you always interested in technology? If so, why? If not, when did you become interested and why?
A: As a woman, since childhood, there has always been a spark in me that has empowered me to follow my dreams. Despite coming from a rural area where technology is not a typical priority, my parents have always provided me with great support.
Growing up, I used to play with electric motors, wires, lamps, and other tools, which prompted my initial interest in technology. I’m so proud to have been able to follow my dreams and, now, have an impact of people’s lives by providing various solutions to problems.
