Reporter to Researcher: Dr. Ann-Perry Witmer
Today's guest is Dr. Ann-Perry Witmer. Ann started her career as a reporter, but 15 years later, decided to return to school for her Bachelor's in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Now, she is a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a world renowned researcher. Join us as we talk about returning to school, nearly filed lawsuits against employers, and how journalism and art history has shaped her into the engineer she is today.
