Elected Region 2 Governor

Vision statement

I was introduced to ASCE when I joined Clemson’s student chapter and served as Co-Captain of the Concrete Canoe Team during my Senior Year. When I moved to the Northern Virginia area in 2016, I knew I was going to join the National Capital Section, as I believed it would be a great way to meet new people and help me grow as an engineer. As my time with the Section grew, so did my involvement, starting from the Younger Member Group and most recently finishing my one-year term as President for the Section.

When John Segna informed me last year that NCS has not had good representation at the Region level, I knew that was something that needed changing. My goal as a Region 2 Governor will be to foster more involvement from our NCS members with the Region. I envision my role as a liaison between the Section and the Region to include attending as many Region 2 events as possible and actively promoting Region 2 activities at NCS Board and Section Meetings. By providing a direct link between the two levels, I believe I can help change the lack of representation of NCS in Region 2.
