Biography:
Hi, my name is Rebecca James. I was born in Houston, TX and have 2 brothers and 1 sister. I am the only engineer of the family (My dad did not finish his degree). My dad motivated me to finish my degree and not struggle like he has in the engineering industry. My mom is a teacher and now college advisor. I am currently a Systems Engineer with Northrop Grumman in Chicago, IL. I am eager to help the younger generation learn and develop skills for a bright future.
