MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: I have performed a variety of bridge-related structural engineering services. My most prominent local project is the Vine Street Expressway overhead bridge rehab project. On that project, the Louis Berger design team prepared final plans for the superstructure replacement and substructure rehabilitation of four two-span noncomposite pre-stressed adjacent box beam bridges with single-span steel plate girder bridges on four bridges between 22nd and Broad streets. The $65 million project is expected to finish one year ahead of schedule in November 2018.

HOW DREXEL HELPED: Drexel laid the foundation for seamless transition to a successful career in structural engineering. Educators challenged students and encouraged critical thinking analogous to the challenges young professionals encounter in the real world. Drexel’s extensive professional network coupled with the co-op program provided invaluable experiences. Most important, I used Drexel’s professional network to land my dream job at Louis Berger.

MY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE: I hope to continue working on increasingly complex and higher-profile bridge design projects nationwide. In my community, I look forward to becoming a leader by participating in charitable initiatives and mentoring high school students interested in civil engineering.
