Duarte obtained her Bachelor of Arts in civil engineering and her Master of Engineering in structural engineering from the University of Florida, and joined the FINLEY team as an Engineering Intern in March of 2020. Duarte brings to FINLEY a background in bridge design and engineering from both her coursework at University of Florida, as well as an internship where she received training in Bridge Development Reports, calculation books, plans, and cost estimation and design.
As a Research Assistant at University of Florida, Duarte assisted in the development and validations of several modeling software, including the bridge FEA software, FB-MultiPier. She also gained experience in development and revision of technical documentation for a geotechnical program and served as a Teaching Assistant for one year in Mechanics of Engineering Structures.
Duarte will be working as a Bridge Design Engineer for the SR25/Okeechobee Road Interchange Improvement Project in Miami, Florida, the I-95/I-595 Expansion in Ft. Lauderdale, and the Lynnwood Link Extension in Seattle, Washington.
“Alejandra did a great job on our Lynnwood Project in Washington during her internship this summer," said Craig Finley, PE, President, FINLEY. "We're very happy she is now part of Team FINLEY and one of our best and brightest Bridge Designers."
