Beth began her career as a consulting structural engineer in Southern California. During the first few years at Ficcadenti & Waggoner, her experiences in construction defect litigation and forensic investigation cemented (pun intended) her knowledge of how NOT to design a structure. She spent the following years at Stedman & Dyson, applying that know-how while designing building structures of steel, concrete, wood, and masonry.
Prior to joining FORSE, Beth was the Global Technical Director of Structural Application Engineers at Bentley. In this role and others at Bentley, her responsibilities included product development, structural software solution evaluation, pre-sales demonstrations, technical training, professional services, and technical support.
FORSE gives Beth the perfect opportunity to combine both her practical design skills and her industry education skills.
