My Work
This page only details my engineering work up until January 16, 2019. So it's out-of-date - sorry!
After graduating from college, I quickly entered my professions of surveying and civil engineering, working for Forte & Tablada from June 12, 2014, to January 16, 2019. Respecting client confidentiality, I can only post general information about most of my job assignments.
Surveying
I worked in surveying as a summer intern in 2012 and 2013, and full-time from June 2014 to January 2018.
Special types of surveying done on multiple projects:

The plat below is from a personal job, where I did the field work and the office work (my favorite kind of surveying job). The embossed seal is hardly visible next to the certification statement.
University Work
What did I learn, make, and do in 4+ years of classes at Louisiana State University (LSU)? I trust that my exhibit of work samples will give you a broad idea. Most of these samples relate to engineering or surveying, and all of them demonstrate something about me, such as my love of writing or communication style. On either the documents or presentations pages which are linked below, just click on any image to open up the relevant document.
