Meet Sarah Foy – Environmental Engineer & Wastewater Systems Advocate
What drew you to Hoyle Tanner?
The people! I worked in Matt Scarborough’s research lab in undergrad and heard wonderful things about the team at Hoyle Tanner. I interned with Hoyle Tanner and saw exactly the kind of professional, genuine, and kind mentors and coworkers I could launch my career with.
What’s your favorite part of the company culture?
The office environment. My supervisor, Kirstin, is a fantastic mentor and person. Whether technical, professional, or personal she is always a reliable ear to help guide me in the right direction. She sets the tone for a respectful and fun environment where we work together to produce high quality work and learn from one another along the way.
What’s a lesson you’ve learned from a colleague or what’s the best piece of professional advice you’ve ever received?
Never be afraid to ask questions. Nearly every major learning breakthrough I have comes off the heels of a good Q&A with another engineer.
What’s one thing you wish people knew about your job?
How fundamental wastewater treatment is in day-to-day life. We cannot grow economically as a society, especially in Vermont, without reliable wastewater treatment systems. This includes access for everyone, regardless of where they live. In rural communities like Vermont, it can be even more difficult for people to access clean and safe wastewater treatment systems that are resilient to climate change.
What did you want to be when you were growing up / how did you get to be on the path you’re on?
I wanted to be an astronaut, like most baby engineers, hahaha (still do, zero gravity seems so cool!). I became passionate about environmental engineering in high school when I learned about climate change and environmental justice. I felt that I could make a positive impact on my community and the environment by working in this field.
