  • 1. What made you want to get into engineering? And specifically, your specialization?
    Throughout my education, I found myself gravitating towards math and science. Specifically, how they could be applied to real world problems. Once I figured that out, Engineering was a logical choice for a career. I studied Electrical Engineering because our lives are becoming more electrical daily, and I wanted to play a role in developing new technologies that would impact people’s lives.

  • 2. What advice would you give freshly graduated engineers?
    Littelfuse culture promotes personal development and career opportunities. Be action oriented and diligent in your job, and you could be provided countless opportunities throughout your career at Littelfuse.

  • 3. What has been a project that you have worked on that you are proud of or that has been most interesting to you?
    I am fortunate to have been part of launching a completely new product line for Littelfuse. The project has provided me many learning experiences and has exposed me to multiple functions of the Littelfuse business beyond Engineering such as Marketing, Manufacturing, and Sales.

  • 4. What is your favorite part about your job? Why?
    The best part of my job is working in a team environment. In Engineering, it is nearly impossible to accomplish your goal without having a robust cross functional team. I am lucky to be part of an excellent team that works together to reach our goal.
