How did IEEE find you?
|
|
I begun volunteering at IEEE
as student branch chair of Federal
University of Bahia.
|
Describe something that you did as a
volunteer that you are proud of:
|
|
After reactivating the SB
and getting the activities going, I
motivated the local students to organize
the Region 9 Student Branch
Congress in Bahia, Brazil. The meeting
was a great success, with
students and volunteers from all over
Latin America and guests
from all over the world participating.
The local impact was great.
Being the Region 9 Student Rep was
another great thing that
happened during my student year.
|
How has IEEE nurtured you as a person?
|
|
From a career perspective,
many Senior Members offered career
guidance and advice. From a personal
perspective, I have become
more skillful in negotiation, conflict
management, and a better
team player.
|
How has IEEE prepared you for your workplace?
|
|
IEEE has given me another
view of the world. Interacting with very
senior people in a non-competitive
environment allowed me to
embrace big projects and take on risks
and the benefits associated
with them. It has removed the fear that
any young engineer has when
he/she leaves school and works in the
‘real world’.
|
What do you like most about
volunteering with IEEE?
|
|
Opportunity to interact with
so many different people, with
different cultures and backgrounds. It
was certainly the best
school I could have to develop the
people skills I need to do my
job every day.
|
Why did you continue volunteering?
|
|
I definitely want to stay
involved with IEEE for the rest of my
life. I look at Ted Hissey and see the
inspiration for what I want
for my life when is time to retire
