What is your inspiration for being an engineer?
My grandfather loved construction. Even though he didn’t have a formal education, he was always out on job sites, learning as much as he could. Whenever I visited him, he’d take me along, and that’s when I started to develop a real interest in construction—especially in structures.
What is your favorite part of working at Advantage and why?
In my experience, Advantage is a great place to grow a career—especially when you’re just starting out, as I am. There were many things I didn’t know coming from my experience in Mexico, since construction practices here are quite different. The learning environment at Advantage is amazing: everyone is open to helping, and they’re genuinely great at teaching new things. The patience and support of the principals and coworkers is what truly makes this place special. Plus, the flexible hours are great.
What is an interesting fact about yourself?
I was the lead singer in a school theatre production—we performed for over 2,000 people. It was the scariest moment of my childhood!
