What makes the Minneapolis and Saint Paul region (MSP) a great place to grow your career?
There is a core of people of color here that are doing great work, in all different fields.

What do you think surprises people about MSP?
We have more people of color than I expected—large Hmong and Native American communities and the largest Somali community in the U.S.

What advice do you have for women engineers starting in their careers?
Reach out and find a mentor. You can learn from people that are at different companies; they may have a fresh perspective. Also, you can even learn from bad managers, even if it is just what NOT to do.
