Profile

Janice Jarusdy Teguh

Since graduating, I’ve pursued a career in assistive technology – a field I didn’t know much about while studying but have found a real passion for. I work as a biomedical engineer where I get to be a part of developing new technologies with manufacturers while also working on behalf of clients so I can see the difference my work makes in their lives.
