The geotechnical engineering profession offers opportunities and challenges that inspire detailed analysis and creative solutions - two skill sets I consider crucial of a competent civil engineer and personally aspire to develop within this field. While working as a lab/field technician for Geocon in 2014, I recognized an invaluable professional resource in CalGeo and a noticeable void on SDSU’s campus where no dedicated geotechnical student organization existed. With the help of the SDSU Geowall Team, we founded CalGeo-SDSU to expand our geotechnical experience outside of the classroom. Serving as GeoWall Team Captain for two consecutive years allowed me to better understand the investigation - materials testing - design - build process of an earthwork project team, which I now employ as a field engineer for Hayward Baker Inc. I am extremely proud of CalGeo-SDSU’s recent accomplishments: bringing professional speakers to campus, touring earthwork project sites, competing well in the regional GeoWall challenge, and qualifying for and attending the National Competition at IFCEE in March 2015.
