Combining forensic engineering with transportation safety expertise, this professional engineering expert specializes in traffic engineering, roadway safety, collision analysis, and transportation systems evaluation. Her practice focuses on investigating crashes involving passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, buses, emergency vehicles, and other roadway users by examining the interaction of human behavior, vehicle performance, and roadway design. She applies engineering principles to evaluate roadway geometry, traffic control devices, construction zones, roadside safety features, pavement conditions, and other transportation-related factors that influence crash causation and safety performance.

Her educational background includes a Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Transportation Engineering, a Master of Science in Statistics, and both bachelor's and master's degrees in Civil Engineering. Licensed as a Professional Engineer in multiple states, she also holds certifications in accident reconstruction, traffic control supervision, occupational safety, and work zone operations. She maintains active memberships in the Transportation Research Board, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, and several engineering honor societies.

Before entering full-time forensic consulting, she conducted transportation safety research involving automated vehicles, commercial vehicle operations, pavement engineering, and highway safety. Her published research has examined autonomous vehicle performance, commercial truck parking safety, transportation policy, and emerging roadway technologies, with findings appearing in peer-reviewed engineering and transportation journals. She also served as a transportation engineering researcher, engineering educator, and highway safety trainee, contributing to transportation safety initiatives while teaching undergraduate and graduate engineering courses.

Her forensic engineering work includes evaluation of roadway design, maintenance practices, construction activities, temporary traffic control, traffic signal operations, signage and pavement markings, roadside hardware, sight distance, and crash reconstruction using engineering analysis and advanced technologies. She is experienced with event data recorder (EDR) analysis, photogrammetry, LiDAR processing, collision simulation, drone mapping, statistical modeling, and human factors analysis to reconstruct traffic incidents and assess transportation engineering issues. This combination of technical research, engineering practice, and forensic investigation supports comprehensive evaluations of roadway conditions, transportation systems, and engineering standard-of-care issues in complex transportation-related matters.
