United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated Civil Engineer (EIT) with over three years of experience, I have successfully led the design of more than 15 municipal projects, including parks, bridges, and stormwater systems. My proficiency in ADA compliance, cost estimation, and cross-functional coordination has allowed me to deliver projects from concept to construction effectively. I am currently preparing to take the PE exam in October 2025, further enhancing my professional qualifications.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in both civil and structural design. My role as a Design Engineer at Boswell Engineering has equipped me with the skills to prepare comprehensive drawing sets using AutoCAD and Civil 3D, ensuring that all designs meet NJDOT and local agency standards. I take pride in producing grant-winning packages and integrating ADA-compliant access into public park designs, demonstrating my commitment to creating inclusive and functional spaces for the community.
