The project will add 22 bed spaces by integrating live-in staff units in each residence hall for student use, converting apartments to use by the live-in staff, address deferred maintenance as well as new accessibility requirements and seismic retrofit.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
I originally wanted to be an architect. My dad was a structural engineer and he used to teach classes at UC Berkeley’s School of Architecture. I would occasionally go with him. I really liked seeing how things were put together. Dad insisted that I go into structural engineering. It’s been a great career. I still get to work around wonderful architects and I really understand how to put things together.
Little Known Fact
One of my bucket list items is to do a triathlon. I’m an avid swimmer, so I just need to get the other two.
Question of the Day
What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I’d either be a quilter on Etsy or write crossword puzzles.
