Leadership

“I truly enjoy the people I work with every day.  I am fortunate to regularly work with multi-discipline teams on a wide variety of projects across the United States (and beyond); keeping my work interesting on a daily basis.”    

Jennifer specializes in dam breach and hydraulic modeling, energy modeling, and GIS work. Her project work involves hydraulic and hydrologic modeling as well as hydraulic design. Her studies at the University of Maine were geared to give her a broad understanding of both structural design and environmental studies. She builds hydraulic models to simulate open channel flow through rivers to evaluate areas of inundation caused by potential flooding of dam breaches, conducts hydraulic calculations through pipes and over dams to other structures to develop stage discharge rating curves and gate capacities; and creates energy models to determine the historic and potential generation based on potential facility upgrades or improvements.

Some of Jennifer’s most recent projects include hydrologic and hydraulic modeling; fish habitat evaluation; hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for dam development; base flood elevation determination; minimum flow siphon design; breach analysis and inundation mapping; inflow design flow and breach analysis; dam condition assessments; fish barrier design; dam safety review and flood study; 2-D tailrace modeling; FERC Part 12D safety inspection reports and Dam Safety Surveillance and Monitoring Reports (DSSMRs); and due diligence of hydroelectric projects.

Jennifer is a member and former Past Maine Chapter President of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and received her B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Maine at Orono with minors in Construction Management Technology and Mathematics. Jennifer is a Licensed Professional Engineer in Maine and Vermont.
