Becky received a BS in Civil Engineering in 1982 from the University of Iowa. She then worked for the Corps of Engineers Omaha District for two years before earning her MS in Environmental Engineering in 1986 from the University of Texas at Austin. Becky then spent thirteen years with CH2M HILL (now Jacobs) in Florida and North Carolina before moving back to Iowa City where she grew up. She spent the last 20 years of her career with Stanley Consultants, retiring in 2022. She specialized in water quality projects, pollution prevention, and the cleanup of contaminated sites. Her first trip to El Salvador was in 2017. She loved the people and was very impressed with the work that the Mangrove Association is doing. The way the communities work together to help each other and improve the environment is an example that should be followed in the US. One of the things Becky loves about our EWB chapter is working with students. Their excitement and enthusiasm remind her why she loves engineering.

A member of the Iowa Professionals Chapter of EWB since 2011. Retired from Stanley Consultants in 2017 as Associate Chief Structural Engineer after 33 years of service. Career involved many large civil, industrial, and utility projects, both domestic and international.
