GEI Consultants, Inc.

As we celebrate National Women’s History Month, we reflect on the incredible women who have shaped our communities, industries, and futures. This week, we’re spotlighting Monica Malone, PE, CFM, a Senior Water Resources Engineer in our Dallas office, as part of GEI’s #WomenInWater series. Monica believes this month is a time to recognize the achievements of trailblazing women and share their stories with the next generation. One such pioneer is Hattie Peterson, the first female African-American civil engineer in the U.S., whose work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers paved the way for Black women in engineering. Monica also shares gratitude for Dr. Karen Butler-Purry, a professor and mentor who shaped her career and the careers of many other future STEM leaders. Join us in celebrating Monica and all the women who are making an impact in the water industry. To learn more about Monica, check out her bio on our website:?https://lnkd.in/gtK2hq_7

#TeamGEI had a rockin’ time on the ice! Our Portland, Oregon team met up at Evergreen Curling Club for a fun and frosty #curling event. After a short how-to-curl lesson, the group of nine split into teams, with skips and curlers taking on their roles. It was the first office-wide event since before 2020, and all involved couldn’t have asked for a better time on the ice. #BackTogether Tim Haynes, Christopher Slack CEG, Rebecca Dorff, Ginger Gillin
