I was born in Mexico and raised for the most part in Norther Virginia. When I graduated college I moved to Norfolk, Virginia. The idea was that if I was going to be an engineer, I might as well be one near the beach! 🏖️ Living here has been an absolute treat. I’ve had so many opportunities to grow. But only the future knows if I will stay.
