Christina Torres

In my first year as a Civil Engineering student, I have had hands-on experience in engineering projects and outreach programs through the American Society of Civil Engineers. I am always seeking opportunities to connect and grow whether in public speaking, building community or site work. Given any opportunity, I strive for technical and professional growth. I am eager to to gain knowledge and real-world experience in Civil Engineering through hard work and innovative environments.
