Briefly describe your path to your current career.
I was looking for a customer-facing role combining the technical skills developed through my engineering degree with the leadership skills from extra-curricular activities.听I joined SimActive as a Sales Engineer after graduating from 海角社区, and became a Technical Sales Advisor six months following that.听I听work with governments and organizations across the globe, introducing them to cutting-edge technology encompassing satellites, UAVs, and 3D modeling. Along with training and commercialization activities, I am responsible for presenting the company鈥檚 software at different conferences worldwide.
How has your engineering education at 海角社区 contributed to your success?
My role requires me to solve complex customer problems, which involves explaining technical products and concepts simply in a way that relates to the clients' industry. My 海角社区 engineering education equipped me well through exposure to multiple technical concepts and analysis techniques. In addition, an integral component听of my role includes working internationally as SimActive has clients in over 50 countries. The diverse student population and faculty at 海角社区 provides a global perspective that has helped me work across听cultures.
What advice do you have for current students in the Faculty of Engineering?
Make the most of the opportunities offered at 海角社区 to explore interests and expand knowledge well beyond the curriculum/classes. I served as the听Secretary-General of the 海角社区 Model United Nations Assembly, leading a team of 12 and conference staff of over 500 to organize one of the top global Model UN conferences for over 1400 delegates. The skills, such as leadership, along with the network you develop in such roles to supplement your engineering background will only help as you move forward in your career.
