What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I have lived in more than a dozen locations. My parents were both in the Navy, so I moved constantly as a kid and that trend has persisted in my adult life. I attended two different colleges and have moved offices/locations within Burns & McDonnell four times.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Be more patient and enjoy the ride along the way. I am an extremely type A go-getter and was always looking for the next thing. Looking back, I wish I would've just enjoyed each moment and all the experience I was gaining along the way.
How do you and your team make the world a better place?
In our Oil, Gas and Chemical Group, we have a strong focus on renewable energy and fuels and executing traditional energy projects sustainably and safely — protecting the thousands of people who work in our industry.
What’s the coolest part of your job?
Getting to meet so many different people. In my role, I interact with so many engineers, project managers and other teams within Burns & McDonnell. Additionally, I'm constantly meeting new clients, suppliers and other people in the industry. I feel like I've built a nationwide network, which is so much fun.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want with you?
My goldendoodle dog, Henry, to keep me company, my Kindle for some good reads and a lighter, because I never learned how to start a fire with sticks.
