Before college, Andrew Serna had the mindset of becoming a structural engineer. However, upon discovering the land development world, Andrew grew a greater appreciation for civil engineering. As a result, Andrew graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2021. While finishing his degree, he first heard about KFW from a school friend who had nothing but great things to say. As a fresh engineer, Andrew enjoys soaking up as much information as possible throughout his journey.

Why did you choose civil engineering?

I always excelled in math and science growing up, and it wasn’t until I took a few engineering classes in high school when I realized it’s what I wanted to do in my future.

What do you like most about civil engineering?

Although I haven’t experienced it yet, being able to see a project come to life and knowing I’ll have taken part in it makes me feel exhilarated.

What are your hobbies outside of work?

I’m a huge basketball fan, whether it’s watching, playing, or just chatting about it. Apart from that, I also enjoy watching horror movies, watching football, and spending time with family and friends.
