TESTIMONIES:
"In high school, I decided to become a Chemical Engineer after hearing a woman scientist from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) in Golden, CO, speak to our science class. She gave a presentation on her research projects that were looking at ways to turn garbage into fuel. I thought it was an exciting field of study, and it really spoke to my desire to help clean up the environment and work on solutions to energy problems. Early in my career, I used my degree to design petrochemical plants and biopharmaceutical processes. I then moved into Project Management, where I had the opportunity to manage industrial waste-water treatment and power delivery projects. Today I use my skills and experience to lead K&A’s technical proposal efforts and market our engineering services to electric utility clients and other engineering firms. I have loved the wide variety of cool projects that I have been a part of throughout my career and continue to love collaborating with intelligent colleagues to solve challenging problems. "
