ECCI is an environmental consulting and engineering firm located in Little Rock. We work with industries all over Arkansas and the U.S., providing them environmental and engineering solutions that enhance their production efficiency, sustainability, growth and keep them in compliance with environmental regulations. I began at ECCI as a part-time intern while I was obtaining my master’s degree from UA Little Rock. I am currently the President and am on the Board of Directors.
If you genuinely take care of people, they will take care of you.
This sounds very cliche; however, I know this is my passion because I love coming in to work every day. I love what I do, what my company stands for and most of all, who I work with.
I wish people knew that there is a way for industry and a clean environment to coexist. Most industries are looking for ways to help create a sustainable future.
My first job was at my father's real estate appraisal firm. That job taught me that there is nothing below your pay grade. I watched my father, the owner, fulfill every role from business decisions and payroll to cleaning the office.
I workout to maintain my mental health. If I ever get off schedule and go an extended period of time without working out, I, along with others, can notice a significant change in my mood and outlook.
I wish people knew more about the Blue Door Sponsorship. This organization provides children in Kenya with food, education, medical care and a spiritual family. The organization was founded by a young Little Rock native named Abby Fegtly.
I never dreamed I would be the president of an engineering firm. I should have taken more business classes to understand the day to day requirements of running a business.
I absolutely love the people I work with, partner with and my clients. They make every day fun and fulfilling.
Successfully navigating the company and employees through 2020 and the challenges brought about from COVID-19.
When I hit a wall, I take time away from the issue and focus on something else. I try to come back to the situation with a more clear mind.
The biggest challenge I've faced so far was the transition from employee to president. I believe it was also a unique challenge for my colleagues. The adjustment in my role and responsibilities was quite a change from my previous position.
