Susie GrimaldiTreasurerI’m a civil engineer that has been working in the industry for almost 5 years. I completed my master’s degree at UNLV while working as a graduate intern at the Southern Nevada Water Authority. I currently work at Brown and Caldwell serving as Deputy PM on two projects. I’ve been mostly involved in designing and rehabilitating water and sewer lines for both private and public entities. My goal is to transition into more of a managerial role in the near future as I continue to develop my technical skills and leadership abilities. I think becoming an ASCE officer would give me the opportunity to connect with other engineers and participate in events to bring professionals and students together. As a treasurer, I’ll be able to strengthen my budgeting skills and help improve the organization’s financial health
