TFMoran Host Derryfield Senior Hannah Kelsey

TFMoran is pleased to be hosting Hannah Kelsey, a Senior at The Derryfield School in Manchester, NH, for her Independent Senior Project (ISP). Derryfield has a long history of allowing graduating seniors to pursue a short term internship in a field of their interest.  This experience allows seniors to gain real world experience that can help in the process of choosing a career after college.  As part of her ISP, Hannah will be introduced to a broad variety of projects and tasks incorporating some of TFMoran’s professional services which include civil engineering, structural engineering, stormwater management, construction support services, and land survey.  We have truly enjoyed mentoring Hannah and wish her the very best in the next phase of her education and whatever career she embarks on.

In Hannah’s own words:

“As part of my last six weeks as a senior at The Derryfield School in Manchester, I am taking part in an Independent Senior Project. This Independent Senior Project is designed for students to gain real-world experience and learning in a subject they are passionate or curious about. I’ve always loved problem solving and building things, so when I joined Derryfield’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) course this fall I became interested in engineering. Next year I will be attending Hamilton College in Clinton, NY where I am considering a five-year engineering program. So for my Independent Senior Project I decided my time would be well spent to explore the engineering world and the different disciplines within it. I learned about TFMoran through Derryfield and am very thankful for them for letting me do my Independent Senior Project here. I have learned a lot already and am very happy with my decision to spend these weeks having an out-of-classroom learning experience at TFMoran.”

TFM’s Senior Project Manager, Nick Golon represents NH ASCE on Capitol Hill

More than 200 American Society of Civil Engineers members from across the country – 49 states represented – gathered in Washington, DC, March 15th – 17th for the annual ASCE Legislative Fly-In to advocate on Capitol Hill for infrastructure improvements, only to learn that the Washington Metro was closing for 24 hours to make emergency inspections the exact day of the scheduled Congressional visits.  No matter.  It was just another very timely talking point for the members to make the case for infrastructure.  The focal points for the members to push on the Hill this year included the Federal Aviation Administration bill reauthorization, work on and passage of a Water Resources Development Act so that it is on a two-year cycle, and the importance of increased investment for water infrastructure.  The following ASCE-NH members attended the fly-in and met with NH Senator Kelly Ayotte: ASCE-NH Treasurer Nick Golon (TFMoran, pictured on the far right), ASCE-NH President-Elect Thalia Valkanos, ASCE-NH Legislative Committee Chair Darren Benoit, and former ASCE-NH Student Liason Andrew Wells.

TFM Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with a “T.G.I.F”

At the end of the day on Friday, March 18th, TFM Bedford hosted a “T.G.I.F.” Saint Patrick’s Day staff event.  After all, “Moran” is of Irish descent, just another reason to celebrate, adding a little fun and festivity among fellow co-workers. The reception area walls were decked out in sparkling shamrocks, metallic swirls and shamrocks hung from the ceiling, green beads and shamrock confetti were every where, and the Irish music in the background all added to the festive atmosphere. Bright yellow tulips and daffodils on the table were a cheery reminder spring is here!

Thanks to Cassi, our receptionist, we were treated to a rainbow shaped fruit salad with a “pot of gold” (rolos) at the end, along with a very colorful veggie platter with home-made dip. In addition to the healthy selections, we enjoyed hot appetizers by the Puritan Backroom, bacon/cheese potato skins, chicken tenders, meatballs and cheese sticks. The Irish theme, of course called for a selection of Irish beer to make the celebration complete. Throw in a few green frosted mini cupcakes and rainbow M&M cookies to top it off, and a great, green time was had by all!
