My background educationally is physics and economics, and I grew up in sort of an engineering environment - my father is an electromechanical engineer. And so there were lots of engineery things around me.

I'm an engineer. I'm a techie, really.

When I was young I had an apprenticeship as an engineer.

If I could do anything, I'd be an engineer of some sort. I used to build robots.

My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently.

I've never thought of myself as a female engineer or founder or a woman in tech. I just think of myself as someone who's passionate.

I am an engineer, but what I find important and necessary is that you just learn things as you go along.

When I was little, I wanted to be a civil engineer. Not a ballerina, not a doctor, a civil engineer. I was such a nerd.

I actually studied engineering in school - I have a degree in mechanical engineering. But, when I got out of school, instead of going to work as an engineer, I was in a band.

I come from a family of doctors and engineers, and everyone expected me to take up a similar career. That was the most natural thing to do!
