Summer knew what she wanted to do early on in life. Growing up in China, where her mother and grandfather both worked in civil engineering, she gained an early interest in the field. She joined Stantec in 2018 and earned her professional engineering (PE) license shortly after, earning her the official title of geotechnical engineer. Since joining Stantec, she’s gained valuable experience in the areas of geotechnical site characterization, advanced geotechnical modeling, seismic hazard assessment, and programming and coding.
The opportunities for cross-discipline collaboration and the ability to gain global experience is what Summer enjoys most about her role. She loves having the opportunity to learn from others and share her own knowledge while working with diverse teams on some of the most fascinating and complex mining projects around the world. One of her most significant projects thus far involves developing design configurations for an embankment dam system with tailing disposal scheme in a large mine.
Outside of the office, Summer enjoys traveling and spending time with her family, especially when it involves introducing her daughter to some of her favorite locales.
