Q: What made you pursue engineering as a career choice?
A: As long as I can remember, engineering is what I’ve always wanted to do. I remember doing those silly quizzes in high school that asked, "Do you like putting furniture together?" and I thought, “I DO like putting furniture together.” I interned at a medical device company that specialized in single-use cardiovascular products. After the internship, I was looking for something similar, and when I saw a position at LivaNova come up, I thought it was perfect for me.
