Manreet Kaur

Structural Engineer - Structures

"Beholding the newly constructed Burj Khalifa as it pierced the sky while reflecting the sunlight and shone like a diamond, as seen from the window of my classroom in the 10th grade, was my first “Aha” moment.

I remember being awestruck, and I wanted to be a Structural Engineer.

These feelings were bolstered when I spent my time in Los Angeles for grad school and experienced my first earthquake. I knew I wanted to be someone who makes our homes a safe haven."
