My Story

External Video

Our education collaborators are working on programs to implement the app in STEM classrooms and clubs for kids and teens nationally and around the world to learn about how engineering shapes our every day lives. Kids and teens in these programs will be invited to connect with engineers through the app so they can meet and interact with professionals in their fields of interest. Please contact us to learn more about the program and how you can participate.

Technical and Software Expertise

Natural Gas Regulations; Water Resources

I chose to be a Civil Engineer,Environmental Engineer,Project Manager because...

of my passion for the Environment and Energy around us - the intersection between public and private sector and technologies to make things more efficient

I like my job because...

I feel like I'm giving back to the community. I'm doing something that I'm really passionate about. Having migrated from the private sector to the public sector, I now have a big picture understanding of how processes work.

My typical day at work involves...

Private Sector: Hydrology, Hydraulic Flood analyses, Stormwater Facility Design utilizing industry standard software such as Autocad, GIS, Hec Ras Software.

Public Sector: Reviewing Natural Gas Applications ( hydrology, hydraulic) ; Project Management

I want others to know...

a lot of people who are not engineers say engineering is very straightforward - everything is black and white, there's no in-between. They say engineering doesn't require creativity. But I feel that's not true. I think the best engineers actually bring their creativity to solve problems day after day. There's different ways to go about things and make things more efficient and engineers are trying to do that.

My STEM education has helped me ...

Networking; analytical skills
