Hello all! My first post finally!!
I remembered reading the blogs on 56stories last year around November when I was researching about Trinity. At that time, I told myself that I'd write one if I got a job here. So here it is, I'm writing on 56stories!
I'm the newest hire at Trinity's Dallas Environmental Consulting (Dallas EC). Dallas is the headquarter so we have lots of other folks like computing support and accounting people in our big and nice office. I've been with Trinity for 5 months as a consultant. I'm not gonna talk about my job in my first post but I can say that I'm very happy working here.
My background: I had a BS in Environmental Sciences from the University of Virginia and a Master in Meteorology (more precisely atmospheric sciences) from Penn State. I'm originally from Hong Kong and have been in the States for 7 years. In Dallas EC, we have a good mix of engineers and meteorologists. Surprise surprise, I don't know anything more about weather forecasting than most of you and I don't actually need to know about it for my job. What is important though, is to understand the underlying principles of atmospheric dispersion modeling that I learned quite a bit in my undergrad and grad courses.
Besides working 40 hours of week, I enjoy shopping in fancy malls (you'll understand if you go to Hong Kong) and traveling. My latest plan for traveling is to celebrate my 10th anniversary of visits by revisiting the same place. This Christmas I'm going to visit Tokyo and next summer I hope to go to London again.
Yes, now that I've started this blog, I have to keep writing more. I shall tell you about my job in my next post :D
