1. There are many different routes to take in engineering. Why did you choose this route?
I honestly fell into it. I applied for many many jobs my last year of college and happened to interview with EHRA Engineering. I think the years that followed proved it to be a great choice. I feel my job really does make a difference in people's lives and its impact can be seen in the communities we create.
2. Did you always know you wanted to become a civil engineer?
I'm actually a 3rd generation civil engineer (Dad and Grandpa)! I remember going to work with my dad at a very young age not knowing what he did but knowing there were colored pencils to play with. I always thought it was a noble profession and a path I could take and succeed in.
3. What was your favorite EHRA project that you’ve worked on and why?
My favorite project I've worked on is Ventana Lakes East. I think it's my favorite because it was the first project I got to work on at EHRA Engineering. It dawned on me the effect we have as engineers because it was the first time I saw residents move into the neighborhood we helped create. Also, because EHRA is the MUD Engineer for the district, I can still be involved in the community.
4. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three engineering tools would you want?
I would bring 0 engineering tools. I would bring a gallon of sunscreen, an umbrella and a fully stocked kindle.
5. If you could design a futuristic city, what’s one must-have feature?
High speed commuter train!
