In the mutual dynamics of engineering and business, I thrive on creating and innovating solutions that benefit my community and peers. Surrounded by two brilliant parents, both thriving in completely different worlds, my creative drive was never limited as I grew up. My mother, a strong-minded immigrant from the Philippines, never failed to take advantage of creative or entrepreneurial opportunities. My father is intuitively inclined toward the artificial workings of technology. I am blessed to have such extraordinary parents who are fundamental to who I am. I always had the same curiosity for technology as my dad. I would take apart my toys as a toddler to see how the gears worked, often breaking them. Nevertheless, my parents did not despise my curiosity; instead, they fed my curiosity by allowing me to explore my interests by their side. In grade school, my mom helped teachers with creative work. She noticed that I was taking an interest in what she was doing and offered me scrap paper to play with. I believe that both of these experiences were fundamental to my limitless creative and curious urge. Fueled by the same curiosity for technology as my dad and my creative drive inherited from my mom, I was immediately drawn towards 3D printing and design. Starting in 9th grade, I spent hours every day honing my skills in 3D design to create products to sell. During the pandemic, I noticed many friends and family members complaining about their masks pushing against their faces. I sought to create a foldable mask spacer that allowed easier breathing for the wearer. I quickly came up with a 3D printable design that uses two pairs of studs and holes to assemble an effective spacer that costs less than 15 cents to produce. My mom was ecstatic and wanted me to start selling them to friends and family immediately. She even helped me set up an online business, which I still use today to sell my engineering projects. I always felt like I had to settle on pursuing only engineering while pushing aside my passion for managing my own business. When it comes to engineering, I specifically loved the idea of utilizing my skills to solve problems pertaining to the economics behind manufacturing and sustainability, similar to my mask product. I fell in love with the idea of pursuing a career in engineering and business management because it would be the perfect space to explore and enhance my passion for transforming my engineering ideas into influential final products that go beyond the bare requirements. Innovating, improving, and sharing have always been my primary goals when working on any project. My priority has been to pursue a degree in engineering, and the business field aligns with my aspiration to make a positive impact by inspiring and helping others through engineering. This path not only deepens my curiosity but also nurtures my passion for the balanced dynamic of business and engineering.
