What’s A Challenge You Faced Early On?

In the E-school, we didn’t have as many opportunities to write persuasively or learn how to structure arguments.

And as a kid, I was more exposed to sports like football and lacrosse than I was to clubs like speech and debate, so I didn’t get those speaking opportunities early on.

It wasn’t a matter of interest so much as I didn’t even really know speech and debate were things I could do.

That said, I do think a lot of what I learned as an engineering student was very applicable to what I’m doing now. 

I’ve worked on patents related to video content streams across devices and network speeds. It’s not exactly sexy, but a lot of the tech behind this stuff is similar to what I learned in school.

All the work I did when I didn’t get to go out on a Thursday at UVA is actually applicable now, which is pretty cool.
