Brief Bio
Currently working with HNTB as a Rail/Transit Project Engineer.
I previously worked on multiple projects from Traffic Signal Synchronization to Highway Improvements and for LA Metro on the Purple Line Extension Project, Section 2. I believe these projects as well as my leadership experience provide me with a solid foundation towards future endeavors on transit projects and the transportation field. I am an optimistic person always looking for ways to improve myself and my peers. I started off my journey by studying Architecture for multiple years which developed my skills and understanding of design aesthetics, how to consider user experiences, presenting project concepts and developments, and creating smart models for design and delivery to clients. After studying architecture, I studied Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Transportation and achieved a Bachelor of Science. With over seven years of experience and my Professional Engineering license I am prepared to take on engineering challenges and contribute towards building up California's transportation infrastructure. I am confident in my abilities to communicate, research, and develop processes. As a life learner I am interested in learning new skills and expanding my technical knowledge. I enjoy working hard and focusing on tasks by assigning priorities and delegating tasks with clear direction and follow-up where necessary to complete tasks in a timely manner. |
