#MakeMoves

Look who’s been making moves! Eddie is a senior studying Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Public Health. He is also the president of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. Over the summer, Eddie worked for Eniware, a medical device company, helping them design testing protocols for a portable sterilizer for surgical instruments. Eddie plans on completing his Master's in BME at the U next year. He’s become career ready by attending Toppel career fairs, doing practice interviews, and coming to Toppel for resume critiques and advice.

Some advice from Eddie: “Stay on top of professional opportunities and get [outside] work experience earlier rather than later. Networking takes you far in the professional world.”
