      I don’t really think of myself as strictly a scientist. I’m kind of a hybrid between and engineer and scientist and researcher (although my degree is in engineering). It is challenging but its part of what makes it enjoyable trying to solve problems and discover new things.

      Life as an engineer is awesome! I think life as a scientist would be pretty cool too, but not as amazing as engineering! People sometimes say that scientists work to understand things, while engineers work to understand things and then manipulate or build things to solve problems. It’s the last part that I really enjoy doing 🙂
