Jeana loved being a professional engineer and was employed by numerous civil construction firms such as Kokosing Construction Company, JF Brennen Company INC.,  Terra Engineering and Construction  and Kraemer North America.  Her passion and drive provided opportunities to collaborate on projects both domestic and abroad.
