Continuing our 8-year long relationship with Team Tech, earlier this year Mazzetti collaborated with a team of students for the annual Cal Poly Society of Women Engineers Team Tech competition — a collegiate competition focused on the importance of teamwork and interfacing with the engineering industry.  We are proud to report, our team took first place!  

Meet Christina Vernon Sanborn, Mazzetti’s new Senior Decarbonization Specialist. An architect, Christina brings unique owner experience in the Healthcare and Education sectors, in facility planning, design, and operations. Her passion and expertise in sustainability coupled with her ability to drive positive change is an effective combo (and her track record vouches). Christina, though based in Cleveland, OH, will serve Mazzetti clients nationwide, helping yield positive climate-responsible solutions.

Edna Webb is Mazzetti’s Controller—ensuring the day-to-day financial activities are executed—payments made, general ledger is current, reporting is completed, etc. Edna was previously employed by another engineering firm as an Accounting Manager, before joining Mazzetti  as Controller 11 years ago, working out of the Nashville (Franklin) office.

Kristelle Fruge is an associate and technology project manager for Mazzetti+GBA’s technology division out of the Franklin, TN office. After working in high tech for many years, Kristelle was looking for a change in her career and was drawn to medical equipment and IT planning. She ended up at GBA (which merged with Mazzetti in 2016) and has been an indispensable part of the team ever since!

Meet Janelle Drouet, Mazzetti’s new Senior Lighting Designer. For more than 20 years, Janelle has contributed to the success of a broad spectrum of lighting design projects of varying sizes and complexities including LEED, WELL, daylighting, heritage, fast track, and design-build projects. Regardless of scope or project type, she firmly believes that good lighting design, access to daylighting and/or shading, is a basic human right and it should be equitable for all. Janelle joins Mazzetti as a Senior Associate, based in San Francisco, CA.

For September’s Women @ Mazzetti spotlight, we flipped the script on Amber McClintock, Corporate Marketing & Communications Manager within Mazzetti’s Marketing and Business Development Department.

For August’s Women@Mazzetti spotlight, we are doing something special and highlighting two women Mazzetti-ites this time! Please keep on reading to learn more about our wonderful summer interns, Jasmine Thomas and Sierra Loiselle.

This month’s Women@Mazzetti spotlight is on Nikki Tuft, a Senior Technology Consultant working from San Francisco, CA. She began her career with our Technology Division, Mazzetti + GBA, 21 years ago...

This month, the Women@Mazzetti committee is putting the spotlight on Anjali Wale, a senior electrical engineer and associate from our San Francisco office. While the past year has given us a newfound appreciation and admiration for all the parents out there who have been juggling home schooling or childcare and work, we found Anjali’s ability to juggle competing priorities particularly amazing!

As the official LGBTQ+ Pride Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on what ‘Pride’ means to us. Where are we today in our thinking/perspectives? What can we learn from each other? How can we expand and evolve to be better stewards of DEI values? 

Lisa Sombart is a Principal and Team Leader in our St. Louis office. She is also a pioneer, and  not afraid to take risks, tackle new challenges, and take initiative to learn new things – including deciding to be an engineer at a time when women were even more scarce in engineering.

Bethany Beers is a Senior Associate and Energy and Commissioning Consultant in Colorado.  She was working from home in Ft. Collins before it was cool!  How she landed here was the result of a winding road, introducing her to great mentors and colleagues along the way. It’s the road that is leading her to success at Mazzetti, attracting both clients and co-workers for repeat work.
