Undergraduate Degree: Bachelor in Civil Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

When making decisions for my own career I was very fortunate to have mentors willing to give me diverse perspectives about potential career paths, and help me identify and explore opportunities I had never considered. I feel that my diverse background in Civil and Mechanical engineering (Mechanics principles) and Computational Mathematics could be, similarly, a valuable resource for our current students exploring such questions. Over the years I have formally or informally advised many of our undergrads on making better informed decisions about their future (and perhaps explore venues that they had not viewed as possible), and I think this program is an excellent initiative to expand this engagement.
