Good evening everyone,

My name is Ricky and am in my first year in becoming an electrical engineer at Olympic College in WA. I am in a technical communications and need to write a discourse community analysis paper. Part this paper is interviewing someone with at least a BS in electrical engineering and works currently as an electrical engineer. My interview will be about EE reports, skills, the profession and expectations as an EE. If anyone would be so kind to let me interview them it would be greatly appreciated. This interview could be through email, phone, Skype or if you live in the Seattle area in person.

Thank you
