What interests you most about geotechnical engineering?
As a relatively young subdiscipline of civil engineering, the practice is still rapidly evolving and no two projects are alike.

What is your favorite thing about working at GRI?
The depth and breadth of institutional knowledge and the recognition of the importance of work life balance.

Where is your hometown? How did it shape who you are today?
