Featuring CU Boulder students and alumni who started in the ACE Mentor Program:
As a Colorado Native, I’ve spent my personal and professional time along the Front Range. During my college career and after graduating from CU Boulder with a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design with emphasis in Architecture, I worked part time within the Facilities Management department and experienced opportunities to interact with individuals of all backgrounds and ages, teaching the value of diversity and relationships. During my 15-year career at Whiting-Turner I have been afford endless opportunities for leadership and engagement with teams executing fast-paced projects. I am a Mountain States Regional Coordinator for our Industry Excellence programs and a Regional Coordinator within our Women of Whiting-Turner employee resource group.
Marianna is a lighting designer at HLB Lighting Design where she works on large commercial projects such as airports, stadiums, and convention centers. Marianna is a recent graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder where she earned a Bachelor and Master’s Degree in Architectural Engineering. During the 2024 to 2025 school year, she successfully defended her Master’s Thesis which focused on the effect of pulse-width modulation of light, or commonly referred to as “flicker.” She is a Colorado native from Pueblo, CO just two hours south of Denver. In her free time, Marianna enjoys going on runs, watching her sister’s softball games, playing outdoor sports like disc golf and pickleball, and making crafts.
Aiden is a fourth-year student studying Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Structural Engineering at CU Boulder. Aiden joined the ACE Mentorship Program in high school to learn more about architecture and the built environment. The ACE program, its mentors, and the peers he worked with helped shape his path towards pursuing an engineering degree.
Hi, my name is JT Lewicki and I'm a Senior in the CEAE program at CU Boulder. I am from Louisville Colorado and love to hike 14ers. The ACE project that I worked on was the design of an elementary school here in Colorado. I decided to go the Construction Engineering Management route (CEM) and I love it! I just signed on with Granite Construction and will be heading up to Anchorage next summer.
