CEA - Women in Engineering and Transportation Engineering Advice with Melissa Brady

CEA - Women in Engineering and Transportation Engineering Advice with Melissa Brady

Powered by social movements all over the world, women are getting more and more space, visibility, and respect within areas of expertise that were mainly dominated by men some time ago, such as natural sciences and engineering. Today Melissa dives a bit into women in the engineering field and some things she's had to deal with.

Melissa and Isaac also dive into the details of her life as a mother and an engineer, how she deals with her work-life balance, especially now with COVID and the work-from-home culture, her experiences as a woman in the field, her workload in her transportation industry, and many tips for the aspiring engineer of the future. Listen to the full episode and enjoy this inspirational story.

Melissa is a senior consultant engineer for the roadway-highway team, and a local project operations manager at WSP in Orange County, California. This means she is the project manager for the majority of the large projects they handle, and she also helps other PMs manage the business side of projects.
