What is the most unusual challenge you have encountered on a project and how did you navigate it?

The most unusual challenges I have helped solve have all been due to working on existing buildings. When working on modifying a structure that already exists, the geometry can be complicated. Coming up with unique details that fit in the space that we have to work with can be a fun puzzle that is rewarding to solve.

Why did you choose Structural Engineering?

I was interested in architecture, but always knew I didn’t quite have the eye for design. However, I have always been good at math. Structural engineering was the perfect mix to bring my skill together with my love for buildings.

What is a fun fact about yourself?

I have been to Disneyland in Hong Kong.
