Bio

I work for Hazen and Sawyer in our stormwater practice group. So far I've gotten to help with stormwater masterplans, neighborhood drainage projects, site civil work, and green infrastructure designs/permitting. I grew up outside of Asheville, North Carolina and graduated from NC State this past May. I spent the summer traveling and then moved to Seattle in early September. I love being outside in any capacity - running, hiking, camping, playing tennis, swimming, boating, you name it - so as you can imagine I am in love with all Washington has to offer!

Q&A

What motivated you to pursue your current career? Why did you become a Civil Engineer?   

Climate change inspired me to pursue civil engineering so that I could make a positive impact towards designing more resilient infrastructure.

What has been the greatest benefit of joining ASCE for you?

The community! I recently moved here, so meeting new people with similar backgrounds and interests has been so great.

What is your favorite project you worked on and why? 

So far, my favorite project has been a Countywide Risk Assessment and Resilience Plan for a community in Florida. I loved how the project looked at bigger, interconnected solutions to address future sea level rise and flooding, versus more singular patchwork projects.

What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?

In high school, I was the president of our F.F.A. (Future Farmers of America) club.
