I am drawn to NICMAR because it focuses on more than just calculations; it focuses on how those designs affect project costs, timelines, and site safety. I plan to use my expertise to show students how smart engineering choices can improve the durability and economic value of a project. My teaching style involves using real-life examples and case studies to turn textbook formulas into practical skills. I want to prepare NICMAR graduates to handle technical challenges while leading large-scale projects. I am excited to contribute to NICMAR through hands-on teaching and research that keeps the institution at the leading level of construction innovation.</span></p>
