What I Do I currently work as a licensed Professional Engineer in Philadelphia, PA. I work in the Transportation industry and specialize in Bridge Design, Reconstruction, and Rehabilitation.
School Days I graduated in June 2017 with a Bachelor and Master of Science in Civil Engineering in an accelerated degree program from Drexel University. My concentration was Strucutral Engineering. At Drexel, I was highly involved with Drexel Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and Drexel American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
My Family My father is a union carpenter and my mother is a first-grade teacher. I have a younger brother who three years younger than me and he is in the business and IT field.
Dreams and Goals Now that I have my Professional Engineering (PE) license, my next major goal is to become a project manager.
Inspiration My inspiration is Emily Roebling who oversaw the construction for the Brooklyn Bridge. Read more about her amazing story here: https://www.engineergirl.org/125425/Emily-Roebling
