Raul Ochoa doesn’t limit himself. He loves to learn.

“Jack of all trades, master of none, but better than master of one — that’s my philosophy,” Ochoa said. “I like to do a lot of things. The one thing I wish I was better at is cooking. I’m not horrible at it, but I’m striving to get better.”

That drive to keep learning carries into his professional life. As a security engineer for the University of Nebraska’s Information Technology Services, Ochoa is constantly building new skills.

“I’m jumping for joy every time I come to work, because I’m learning something new,” he said. “I’m learning a new skill or a new way to explain a product to somebody else. Personally, it’s elevating me as an engineer, and professionally, it’s making me a better professional than I was even six months ago.”
