About

I am currently a staff engineer at Manhard Consulting where I strive to learn and excel every day. I am very proud to have graduated from the Civil Engineering programs at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I am a hard-working individual and am not afraid to take a leadership position, but I also know there is an endless amount of information to learn and I know when to take a step back.
