Thank-you all, I am officially retired as WEF's Public Communications and Outreach Community/Committee chair! Its been a wonderful two years working with WEF staff like Heidi Bragg and overcoming the challenges of a smaller but mighty committee in a predominantly technical space. I know the community is in good hands with Allison Fore, Madison Quinn and Emily Garner as the new leadership. Not to mention all the amazing volunteers like Dianne Sumego, PE, OIT, WEF Fellow, and Julianne LaRock that keep it fun. While I get to sit back, I'll still be here to support everyone but looking forward to relaxing a tad more. Thank you all again for the opportunity to serve alongside you, I'm so proud!
Congrats USF! FWEA is proud of your team's hard work!
So happy to announce we won 2nd place in the wastewater student design competition! It was truly an unforgettable experience and so much fun to be able to meet and watch the other teams present. Thank you to Hillsborough County for this project and thank you to our amazing advisors Sarina Ergas and Thomas Cross, PE, DBIA for supporting us throughout the project. Lastly I want to thank and shout out to my incredible and talented teammates Aleyda Matamoros, ENV SP and Deven Brown, we did it guys! #WEFTEC2024 #wefsdc #wefsyp
Congrats UF! FWEA is proud of your team's hard work!
Well... we won!!!! Very excited to share that our team took home first place at WEFTEC's Student Design Competition in the Water Environment division. Feeling very fortunate to have made it here with Katherine Palmer, Bianca Piñeros, Olivia Bergmann, Ross Nygard, Morgan Meuleman, and Anthony Trow, which we couldn't have done without the support we received from Dr. John Sansalone, our friends at FWEA, and some last minute 3D-printing from dearest Findlay Watson (and of course, our feline mascots 😺). I loved having the opportunity to see what environmental engineering looks like around the country (and Canada!), and feeling excited about the future ahead. Congrats to all! P.S. It's great to be a Florida Gator!🐊🧡💙

#PersonalPostAlert and long overdue: Acknowledgment and Gratitude to Our Supporters As the former president of the CRSH Engineering Booster Club at Coral Reef Senior High School, I wanted to take a moment to personally express my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing companies and organizations that supported us during the last school year. Your generous donations played a vital role in helping our students grow, explore their passion for engineering, and gain invaluable experiences. During my time as president, I witnessed firsthand how your contributions helped us achieve significant milestones: - We were able to fully equip two VEX Robotics teams, giving students the opportunity to compete in several local competitions. - We organized a trip to Orlando with 47 students to participate in the TSA Conference and competition in February 2024 where we place finalist in several competitions. The Booster club was able to provide meals, and cover most of the expenses for registration, hotel and transportation for students, teachers and chaperones. - We hosted a successful Mock Interview event for the Juniors Class of 2025, where nearly 120 students benefited from professional interviews, feedback, and received professional headshots at no cost. - We also organized the NAF Academy Award and Honors Cord Graduation Ceremony for the Senior Class of 2024, ensuring their accomplishments were celebrated in style. I would like to extend a special thank you to Black & Veatch, Carollo Engineers, Terracon , Stantec, Gannett Fleming, Empowering Pumps & Equipment, Ardurra, Harvest, Wade Trim, SKF Group, and specially ASCE Miami-Dade Branch, Florida Water Environment Association - FWEA and Cuban American Association of Civil Engineers. Your unwavering support made these achievements possible, and I am forever grateful for your belief in our mission and investment in the future of our young engineers. Though my role with the Booster Club has come to an end, I will always carry with me the pride and joy of what we accomplished together. Thank you for making such a difference in our students' lives and in the CRSH Engineering community. #ThankYou #Grateful #STEMSupport #FutureEngineers #EngineeringEducation #CRSHBoosterClub #VEXRobotics #TSAConference #StudentSuccess #CommunitySupport #MentorshipMatters #ThankYouSponsors #EmpoweringYouth #STEMEducation #FutureLeaders #EngineeringExcellence
