Lead CADD Operator-Program Development

I started with IDOT in June of 1999. I attended Parkland College and graduated with an A.A.S. in Civil Construction Technology. Prior to working at IDOT I worked primarily in the private sector in surveying, drafting and was a structural steel estimator just before coming to IDOT. I worked in a design squad to start and in 2003, began working in the CADD Unit. I am presently the Lead CADD Operator in the CADD Unit and have been here since 2009. I became Vice-President of Chapter 5 IAHE in 2014 and President/Director in January 2015.

Design Engineer-Studies & Plans

I graduated from Lake Land College in May of 2006 and I graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Civil Engineering in May of 2009. I started with IDOT District 7 in October of 2010. While at District 7, I worked in Studies and Plans and then spent a season out in Construction. I joined IAHE while I was still in District 7 and then transferred my membership to District 5 in December of 2011 when I accepted a position in the Bridge and Hydraulics Unit in Paris. Since that time, I have earned my Professional Engineering license and I currently work as a Design Engineer in the Studies and Plans Unit. I live just outside of Paris with my husband, Jason and our three sons, Colten (14), Conner (11), and Carter (2). We enjoy spending time with our very active family.
