-: I was enrolled in career development services, updates,
job postings, things like that.
One day I was on my way to lunch and I got this email
on my phone that says there is an architectural internship
at Mercedes Benz USA and I read that and my eyes lit up,
I said this is architecture, cars, automotive,
what do I need to do?
So I didn't go to lunch, I went to the office,
to the career development services office,
I said what do I need to do to get this job,
submitted an application, went through the interview
process, was successfully hired for that internship,
and it was actually one that it was initially supposed
to be through the summer only and I ended up staying there
for six months through the winter as well,
so it was a great experience, got my foot
into the automotive architecture industry,
and then similarly through career development services
again I went to the career fair, I would go pretty much
every year either looking for an internship or a job
or whatever it was, so my year that I'm graduating looking
for a full-time position, I met CallisonRTKL.
They saw that on my resume I had automotive experience.
They said we have an automotive design studio, let's talk,
and now five years later I'm one of the leaders
of that practice.
