Mentorship, she says, during an internship in land development sent her on her way to a flourishing career at Wier & Associates. She began there as an intern and was hired on as a graduate engineer in 2007. Today, she is a senior associate of the firm, elected to that position in 2020.
In 2021, she became a stockholder of the firm, “further establishing herself as an instrumental part of the vision of Wier & Associates' future,” says Carlo Silvestri, president of the firm.
