Conversation with Tammy!

I had great conversations with Tammy on her Work and Young People. Here is her advice for young people who still need to navigate higher education and careers.

  • Find something that you love to do and then you will never be bored.
  • Take classes that interest you and not just the required ones.
  • It is okay to change directions in your life. That is how we grow and learn.
  • Look at schools that offer more than the classes that you want. It is important for the school to offer things for our entire mind, body, and soul. Do not be afraid to look at specialty schools for programs that focus on what you to learn.

Tammy is an accomplished National Building Information Modeling (BIM) Manager who has achieved a record of success in the development and support of diverse modeling projects in the design and construction industry. Her expertise encompasses a wide range of extensive technical and integrated design skills including demonstrated design, project management, and Virtual Design and Construction software skills. At DLR Group, she serves as a firm-wide asset in the use of Design Technology, championing the execution of its definition, implementation, and training programs. She is particularly passionate about education and implementing firm standards for technology, leading an innovative on-boarding training program and administers Bluebeam standards in addition to her efforts in the launch of KnowledgeSmart, Global eTraining, and a pilot program for LinkedIn Learning. As a respected contributor to her craft who makes knowledge-sharing a priority, Tammy also serves as the President Elect for NAWIC 2019–2020.

We seek to expose a diverse group of students to STEM education and skills to help balance what we see as an inequity in their representation in STEM fields.
