What I Do Currently, I lead a team of 14 Sales Engineers that are located globally. All of my Sales Engineers are focused on Cyber Security technology, and are geographically located to the territory they support.
Why Engineering? I chose engineering because I loved math in school, and I love to solve problems! Engineering really leverages both of these skills sets so I felt like this would be a really good fit for me.
My Day At Work For my work I do a lot of presenting, public speaking, as well as study technology! I like that my work is a mix of both business and technical aptitude.
Best Part I like the challenge of finding a solution for a proposed problem. I find it gratifying when discovering a solution that works, or creating a solution that solves a problem.
Proud Moments I was really proud to have an article I wrote on cyber threats got published in the IEEE e-magazine! http://www.standardsuniversity.org/e-magazine/march-2016/protecting-against-cyber-threats/
Additional Thoughts I like the challenge of finding a solution for a proposed problem. I find it gratifying when discovering a solution that works, or creating a solution that solves a problem.
Beth, Springfield Added Thursday, July 3, 2014 at 2:26 PM My school doesn't offer systems engineering, what should I do? I am interested in pursuing a career in systems engineering.

Emry, Portland Added Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 5:20 PM Extra-curricular activities in high school I'm currently in high school and I know its a long way ahead for me to be an engineer yet, but I just want to know what kind of extra-curricular activities should I do to get into a good college with an engineering or health program? Answers 1 Sangeeta Kodukula, Cisco Systems Answered Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 5:20 PM Hi Emry! Great question! I found that being involved in Math and Science related activities helped me get a better understanding of engineering. If your school has a Math or Science club, that will benefit you immensely. Good luck!
