Performance of Typical Buildings: Türkiye Earthquake Sequence on February 6, 2023

Venus Kate Geva is a civil engineer and her educational journey was a testament to my determination. After years of hard work, I proudly graduated with a degree in BS Civil Engineering, a field that ignited my passion for understanding the complex mechanics of structures and their relationship with the environment. But my path was not without its trials. The unexpected arrival of the global pandemic caused a delay in my graduation, a hurdle that I could not have foreseen. Yet, I refused to let this setback define me. Instead, I embraced the extra time as an opportunity to further hone my skills and deepen my knowledge. Currently, I find myself working as a sales engineer for a respected construction company. This role allows me to bridge the gap between my technical expertise and my innate ability to connect with people. I'm not just selling construction solutions; I'm also cultivating relationships and fostering collaboration that drives projects forward. Beyond the confines of my profession, I'm a staunch advocate for community engagement and environmental sustainability. My free moments are dedicated to delving into books that keep me abreast of the latest innovations in my field or contributing to local initiatives aimed at creating a greener and more sustainable future. My life's journey is one of resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to turning challenges into stepping stones toward success. I hope that my story serves as inspiration to others, reminding them that setbacks are temporary, and with the right mindset, they can be transformed into opportunities for growth and achievement.
