Professional Profile
What advice can you offer recent
graduates entering the field?
You must keep learning every day-new skills, new
technologies, new processes. Make sure you make
IEEE your professional home AND BE AN ACTIVE
VOLUNTEER. You will learn a lot of people skills as a
volunteer that will translate directly to success in your
regular job.
What is your favorite Eta Kappa Nu memory?
This is more recent-it is attending two IEEE-HKN
Student Leadership Conferences (in 2018 and 2019)
and seeing how the students were so engaged in their
chapters and in meeting other student leaders from
other campuses. I look forward to when we can have
an IEEE-HKN Student Leadership Conference in person
in . . . 2022!?!?
Why do you support IEEE-HKN?
IEEE-HKN student members are the best and brightest,
and often the most devoted to serving others. I want
to ensure that my financial support of IEEE-HKN gives
these students the opportunity to learn more than
math, electronics and programming. I want to make
sure they learn how important it is to serve their
profession and their communities.
What are the greatest opportunities for
IEEE-HKN over the next three years?
Graduate student members of IEEE do not have a lot
of opportunities to participate in activities with other
Graduate students across the world. I would like to
create a professional home for all graduate students
in IEEE-HKN so that they can interact with each other,
present their work to each other, and learn leadership
skills that will help them land their dream job once
they graduate.
IEEE-HKN Celebrates 117 Years!
Founders Day is a way for us to share the
IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu story, raise awareness of

a University, show the many ways a Chapter

encourage industry to support us. Please find
a way to tell the IEEE-HKN story to celebrate
Founders Day, wherever you are in your IEEEHKN
