Growing up, Leanne was always strong in math and science. So, when it came time to choose a career, she saw a good match for her skills for a career in civil engineering. Her first civil engineering role was a co-op placement at an airport, which had great appeal coming from a family of aviation enthusiasts. After graduating, she leveraged this transportation-related experience and joined our Infrastructure Management and Pavement Engineering group.
As a senior pavement management engineer, she works with municipal, state/provincial, federal, and airport clients on roads, airside infrastructure, and runways. Her favorite task is presenting her team’s work to the client, discussing how they evaluate roadway pavement condition, assessing future needs, and recommending budgets for their capital road infrastructure projects. Leanne’s recommendations have even led councils to increase their capital road infrastructure budgets, creating greater long-term benefit for their communities.
She is also a mum to a toddler, so her current “hobbies” include park visits, jungle-gym climbing, and reading.
