Erin Robinson – Secretary
I am a water engineer with Arcadis and moved up to VT in June 2024. ASCE has been such a valuable resource in my early career, and it has been empowering to grow WITH the organization. I was also recently named one of ASCE’s Professional New Faces for 2025! When I am not running around at volunteering events or working with various ASCE groups, I can be found trying to explain winter to my southern family, fighting the squirrels that keep burying WHOLE slices of bread in my garden beds, and getting lost in a corn maze or blueberry patch. If you are visiting the area and need a tea shop / VT creemees stand / U-pick farm recommendation, I am your girl.
