    "Educationally, I benefited from excellent mathematics and science curriculum, especially the advanced placement classes. Socially, I was very reserved, but my classmates were creative, caring and engaged - this provided a wonderful guide for me as I grew my social activities in college and through my professional career. Significantly, my graduation within the top 3% of my class awarded me a 4-year scholarship to ASU, where I graduated with my BS Mechanical Engineering degree. With this foundation, I have experienced career success in the competitive high-tech field of digital storage."
