Eager Engineering Student Finds Inspiration at IVC

Minoush Nikham

For Minoush Nikham, engineering isn’t just a career, it’s her passion. And when it comes to getting an education, she says her experience at IVC is the cornerstone for her accomplishments thus far. 

“At IVC, I learned I could do it,” states the proud engineer. 

Before enrolling at IVC, Nikham began her engineering journey at another local community college. Expecting to launch into an unstoppable career, she quickly found the college wasn't a good fit.
