There are many ways to prepare for the exam as well as ways to approach the exam. I have been talking to Vanessa for a while as we were both preparing for the exam in April. It was great talking to her and learn how she has prepared as well as what was like not passing the first time she took the exam. We discussed what engineers should keep in mind if they don't pass the first time as well as how to cope with test anxiety. This was a great episode an I am glad I got to talk to Vanessa about this topic.

Outside of work, she is heavily involved in her local professional organization American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
