?? Building the Future, One Student at a Time! ?? On March 13th, the ASCE North Jersey Branch Younger Members Group had the privilege of participating in STEAM Night at Mountain View Elementary School, inspiring the next generation of engineers! Through hands-on activities and engaging discussions, we introduced students to the world of civil engineering, showing them how the bridges, roads, and infrastructure around them come to life. Watching their excitement as they explored engineering concepts reminded us why outreach is so important—these young minds are the future of our profession! A special shout-out to HNTB (Robert Rogoff, Jakob Guido, PE, Steve Alpert, P.E., and Elisabet Ruiz-Torres, CMIT, EIT) for co-sponsoring the event with us! Your support helped make this an unforgettable experience for the students. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and to Mountain View Elementary School for hosting such a fantastic event. Together, we’re building a brighter future! ???? #STEAMNight #CivilEngineering #ASCE #FutureEngineers #STEMEducation #EngineeringTheFuture

Today, I helped ASCE North Jersey Branch YMG deliver their first-ever presentation entirely in Spanish to the students of Hubbard Middle School. This experience ranks among the most rewarding moments in my career. Witnessing the students’ faces brighten with curiosity, realizing that there was someone who could communicate in their language, left a profound impact. The significance of representation became vividly clear. I remember standing in this very spot during my youth, navigating life in extreme poverty, not speaking the language, and ultimately feeling disillusioned by the American Dream that had been promised to us when my parents made the momentous decision to immigrate to this country. ASCE North Jersey Branch YMG stepped up, ensuring no child would be excluded from this presentation due to language barriers, and provided representation that resonated with the students. Now, fueled by the desire to be the representation I lacked, I find myself inspired by the promise made by a student today. She promised me that she would be a Bridge Engineer in the future and work with me at HNTB forging a path toward success and breaking down barriers. I eagerly await the day when this becomes a reality! #BeingHNTB
