Why was this a meaningful experience for you?
“I became a civil engineer to have a positive impact on society. However, since I live and work in a large metropolitan area with well-developed infrastructure, the impact that I make on my community every day is nominal at best. The impact that we have had on the community of Kayarani has the potential to change lives. Helping to bring this bridge to Kayarani is one of the most satisfying achievements of my career.”
