(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: Since graduating from Montana State University in Civil Engineering, my experience spans working for a heavy civil contractor building bridges to a structural engineer on design build projects across the United States. Since moving back to Montana in 2005, I was fortunate to work at Morrison Maierle with their structures group before joining my husband at Tate Management doing construction management. My diverse background has exposed me to both good and bad practices and allows me to see the big picture. Having spent half my career working with design codes, I understand that they do not fit every situation. Understanding the background to how the specific code was developed, and what it was intended for, is crucial in how it should be applied and enforced.
