ACC Ep 7: Paul Ceralde on Engineering, Impact, and Graduate School at UC Berkeley

In this episode, we chat about why Paul studied engineering, how he got to study at UC Berkeley for his masters, and the perspectives and new skills he brought back to the Philippines afterwards.

Lessons from UC Berkeley

“Getting exposed to the startup scene at Silicon Valley, and learning about the technologies and the possibilities and telling myself that I can make this happen, we Filipinos can make this happen too. That’s why we’re doing it right now.”

"People that change the world are humans, still. They're just humans that are more imaginative, humans that are motivated, humans that see the bigger picture, humans that have vision, the tenacity, and the resolve to attack a problem and offer a solution.”
