Why do you enjoy being an ASCE member?
I enjoy being part of ASCE YMF because it allowed me to meet and work with engineers from all over the country and all over the world.  Every conference city and country visited always have an ASCE member.  

What is your favorite event of ASCE YMF?
My favorite ASCE YMF event used be the NASCAR fund raising events.  Those were really fun and you really get to experience good team work in a high paced environment.  I also like the summer theater socials. 

What is an engineering project you're proud of?
This is a tough one, my agency oversees high-rises, sport stadiums, tunnels and really cool amusement transportation systems.  I like them all because I learned so much in each of them, but what truly makes my day is help home-owners and our community members some of them building their fits house, or a patio, a casita for a relative, or just raising their fence.  Helping my community is what I feel the proudest of!

Fun fact about Taylor:
