Hi! I’m Amanda, a 2nd year MS student in SDC, on the Structures track. I am from Westchester NY, and for my undergrad I studied Civil Engineering at Columbia University. A fun fact is that I minored in Architecture and Dance! In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, dancing, and snowboarding. I am passionate about sustainability in structural engineering, and my research has focused on embodied carbon and the environmental impact of structural repairs. I have internship experiences in structural engineering, program management, and construction management, working in NY and the Bay Area. Upon graduating at the end of this quarter, I will be working in forensic structural engineering at Thornton Tomasetti in SF. I am looking forward to developing my Revit skills through this class!
