Ernesto Zurita Ruiz '21

Major: Mechanical Engineering
Next Port: Estimator I at JE Dunn

What are you most excited about for your Next Port?

I am excited for the many opportunities for growth and development as an engineer, a professional, and an adult as well adding new people to my network!

What is your favorite memory from UP?

My favorite memory from UP was interacting with a diverse group individuals in the library on a daily basis, whether they were people I knew or just meeting for the first time.

Was there a faculty or staff member, or department that specially helped you land your Next Port?

Dr. Farina recommended me to a contact at JE Dunn Construction for this engineering job position I find myself in today! The Career Center along with the Shiley School of Engineering further pushed me along the process by providing a space to interact with a recruiter from the company during the SHPE STEM Career Expo.
