Always allow yourself to grow as opportunities arise; be open to various positions; and be willing to face new challenges. Ask questions and participate in different activities. The worst that may happen is that you are told “No.” If that happens, it just means that there is something better for you out there.
My father is my biggest inspiration. He is a physicist who worked as a technician. He always taught my siblings and me that no work is big or small: each job has an important role in the flow and success of any product line or industry.
I work in the research and development (R&D) department for the Excelitas Single Photon Counting Module (SPCM) product line. We work closely with customers to meet their individual requirements. We are also always looking to improve the product line, whether it be test benches, electronic improvements, or performance improvements.
I consider obstacles or challenges as learning opportunities. Working for the Excelitas SPCM product line made me realize that there is so much more than what can work theoretically. There are many factors that must be taken into account, but it is still possible to deliver a
product that is close to perfection.
Do not underestimate yourself. Trust yourself in every project you start or undertake. There will be times when you may make errors and even fail at certain tasks. However, you will likely improve over time and gain knowledge and confidence by continuing to try.
