Career Story
Shortly after graduating from Georgia Tech with my Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering and deciding to pursue a Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering, I came across Apex Technology in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL. This company interested me because of its primary focus on residential structural design, which I didn’t even know at the time was a niche in the industry. Since I grew up drawing floor plans of houses in my school notebooks, Apex felt like the perfect fit.
Apex offered me an internship during the summer of my Master’s program and I returned to take a full-time position in 2014 after graduation. One of the first things I learned upon starting my career was that effectively serving our clients requires me to prioritize tasks and manage my time well. I am constantly practicing and growing in these skills.
Our team at Apex champions continuous growth and improvement – daily serving our clients and one another, learning new things, and pushing ourselves beyond our current limits. This is the type of workplace that I can grow in and I intend to do just that, as I continue my career at Apex.
