Join me as I reflect on my path from a new graduate to a senior coastal engineer. This presentation will explore how engineers contribute to solving complex problems at every stage of their careers—starting with well-defined tasks and growing into leadership roles on projects with no clear roadmap.
I’ll share insights into the evolution of technical and professional responsibilities in the consulting engineering world, and wrap up with highlights from some of the most memorable projects that have shaped my career. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to advance in the field, this talk will offer a candid look at what to expect in the dynamic world of consulting engineering.
