Meet the Engineers Behind "Known For"

Welcome to KNOWN FOR

Somewhere along the way, this industry started talking about women in engineering like they were a statistic—a percentage to be raised, a gap to be closed, a number to be improved.   But statistics don't tell you what it's like to be the only woman in the room, to feel like you have to prove you belong, or to want to be known for your contributions before anything else. They don't tell you who's raising a family, training for a race, planning the next adventure, tending a garden, renovating a home, or showing up for a friend.   Behind every number is a person, and this Women in Engineering Week, we'd like to introduce you to them—not as data points, but as the remarkable, whole, extraordinary people they are.

Ana is KNOWN FOR...

Known for staying active, making things, exploring new places, and being conscientious. Ana moves through the world with her eyes wide open, and she approaches her work the same way: looking beyond what's in front of her, asking what's possible, and making sure it's done right.   The curiosity that takes her to new places and the care she puts into her work are why people trust what she builds.   Curiosity opens Ana's doors, but the conscientiousness she's known for is what people remember when the work is done.

Erin is KNOWN FOR...

Known for being a mom, watching sports, traveling, and being reliable.   Whether at home or at work, Erin is someone people can count on. When she takes something on, it gets done, no follow-up needed and no questions asked.   In this industry, that kind of dependability makes all the difference, and Erin has built her reputation on it. In a world full of maybes and we'll-sees, Erin is known for being reliable, every time, without exception.

Lauren is KNOWN FOR...

Known for home renovations, reading, mentoring and being driven.   Lauren doesn't just see potential, she builds it. It's why a weekend project becomes a fully renovated room, why the people she mentors thrive, and why the projects she takes on finish strong.   For Lauren, the list of goals never ends, and neither does the drive she's known for.

Nicole is KNOWN FOR...

Known for yoga, running, enjoying live music, and being funny.   Equal parts grounded and hilarious, Nicole brings lightness to the hard days and energy to the good ones, on the mat, on the road, and in the middle of a tough project. In an industry that runs on deadlines, she's the teammate who keeps things steady and makes everyone laugh while doing it.   She brings the kind of energy that keeps projects moving forward, lifts those around her, and makes even the busiest days feel a little lighter.   Plenty of people are funny. Nicole is known for turning laughter into momentum.

Stephanie is KNOWN FOR...

Known for weightlifting, being a mom of boys and dogs, and working hard.   Stephanie knows that the most meaningful things are built methodically, consistently, and with full commitment, and that's exactly how she approaches her work. She pours the same relentless grit into her projects as she does into her family and her workouts—all heart, zero shortcuts.   Strength, for Stephanie, has never just been about muscle. It's about character, and hers runs deep.   Hard work isn't just what Stephanie is known for. It's what she's made of.

Sabrina is KNOWN FOR...

Known for hiking, gardening, snowboarding, and being a team player.   Sabrina understands the value of patience and showing up for the long haul, on the trail, on the slopes, and throughout her life. It's a quiet kind of strength, rooted in patience, perseverance, and follow-through.   She's known for being a team player, and she proves what that means every day: making the work shine and the people around her stronger.   Anyone can be on a team. Sabrina is known for being the one who helps hold it together.

Kristina is KNOWN FOR...

Known for being a mom, an innovative engineer, a friend, and for being passionate.   Passion is the thread that runs through everything Kristina does. It's there in the way she turns tough problems into innovative solutions, in the love she brings to her children, and in the loyalty to her friends that never wavers.   She has spent her career proving that excellence isn't a cliché, it's a commitment to the people and the work that matter most.   The solutions are what Kristina is known for. The passion behind them is what sets her apart.

Rachel is KNOWN FOR...

Known for being a runner, a wake surfer, a cat mom, and for being fiercely loyal.   Rachel stands by her people. She celebrates your wins, helps carry the load when things get tough, and never lets you face a challenge alone. That's why her team trusts her. When challenges arise, Rachel doesn't step back, she steps in.   Some are known for what they do. Rachel is known for being fiercely loyal, fully committed, and steadfast in her support of others.

We're just engineers.

They didn't want to be known for the statistics, the percentages, or the conversations about representation.   They are the moms, the athletes, the creators, the travelers, the mentors, and the friends who show up every single day and give their all to the people they love and the work they do.   They're not women engineers. They're just engineers, known for being conscientious, reliable, driven, funny, hardworking, passionate, fiercely loyal, and the kind of team players who make the work stronger.   These are the engineers of Kier + Wright and KWRE, tackling complex challenges, and propelling our communities forward.
