DESCRIPTION:“The Power of Yes: Unlocking Career Growth Through Every Oppo
 rtunity”\nBy Erin Doty ’18\, Deputy Project Manager\, AECOM’s Federa
 l Group\n\nIn her talk\, Erin Doty (Hope Geology Alumn) will explore how e
 mbracing opportunities — both big and small — can propel your career i
 n unexpected and rewarding directions. Saying "yes" to new challenges\, pr
 ojects\, and experiences fosters personal growth\, expands your skill set\
 , and builds invaluable connections. For those in geology and environmenta
 l sciences\, this mindset is especially powerful. Opportunities in fieldwo
 rk\, research projects\, technical certifications\, and interdisciplinary 
 collaborations can lead to diverse career paths\, opening doors you may ha
 ve never considered.\n\nDrawing from her real-life experience and industry
  insights\, she’ll discuss how to overcome fear\, adapt to uncertainty\,
  and leverage each opportunity to shape a fulfilling and dynamic career. W
 hether you're early in your journey at Hope or about to graduate and blaze
  your next path\, this talk will empower you to shift your mindset from fe
 ar of the unknown to embracing the possibility of “what if” and unlock
  doors to your own success.\n\nHope College alum\, Erin Brophy Doty ‘18 
 is a skilled geologist with five years of industry experience currently wo
 rking as an environmental consultant for AECOM’s federal group. She spec
 ializes in subsurface and hydrogeological investigations\, contaminant fat
 e and transport\, and environmental remediation. Erin has worked across mu
 ltiple sectors\, including power\, rail\, chemical\, industrial\, and fede
 ral\, contributing to complex projects through multimedia sampling\, drill
 ing oversight\, remedial investigation\, and regulatory compliance.\n\nCur
 rently serving as a Deputy Project Manager\, Erin leads technical support 
 and project management for high-profile environmental projects\, ensuring 
 efficiency\, regulatory adherence\, and quality service. She has extensive
  experience with environmental investigations under CERCLA\, RCRA\, and st
 ate regulatory programs in multiple states\, including Alaska\, Indiana\, 
 Kentucky\, Michigan\, and Illinois.\n\nErin credits much of her success in
  the environmental sector to her time at Hope College with the Geological 
 and Environmental Science Department. At Hope\, Erin honed her analytical 
 and technical skills while building a fundamental base in the field of Geo
 logy. The unique\, small-scale department (or “Geo family” as she came
  to know it) provided a safe space for her to connect with her peers and d
 evelop strong communication\, team building\, and networking skills that h
 ave aided in the growth of her professional career. \n\nIn addition to her
  passion for environmental health\, preservation and remediation\, Erin en
 joys playing soccer\, reading\, painting\, being outdoors in any capacity\
 , and spending time with her family.
