• Conduct visual inspections of buildings and infrastructure, nationally and internationally, to provide engineering consultation and qualitative assessments of building systems, equipment and structures • Report on material and building system conditions, conduct replacement cost estimations, life cycle schedules and cost analyses, and read and interpret construction plans and conduct quantity take-off• Handle high client volume and short turn around on project deadlines • Responsible for the in-house training and on-boarding of 16 engineers, including one-on-one mentoring• Responsible for product and internal template development, client database creation, and 3D modeling of building sections

Greater Milwaukee Area

• Structural engineering design and analysis of entire building framing systems from load analysis to design of frames, connections, footings, and vibration and deflection analysis• Develop design criteria such as gravity loads, wind and seismic• Analysis of existing structures to accommodate changes of facility use and/or installation of HVAC equipment and high density storage units • Experience with 3D BIM modeling and analysis software such as RAM Structures, Bentley, Tedds/Tekla, Hilti, and use of current codes and standards, and creation of plans and details

Greater Milwaukee Area

• Instructor in the Civil and Architectural Engineering and Building Construction Department • Taught Statics and Mechanics of Materials I and II. Responsibilities included instruction, lecture note preparation, exam preparation, student consultation and grade distribution • Nominated for the Johnson Controls Award Nominee (presented to outstanding part-time faculty)

• Researched correlations between steel material properties and rapid prototyping material properties in an effort to find a strength scale factor between the two to prototype steel connection designs as a way of locating stress concentrations. • I presented my findings locally and will present at the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR). In addition, I wrote a paper on my findings.
