What do you enjoy most about the inspections?
I love the opportunity to speak with homeowners about the role complex Bay Area geology plays in the livability and enjoyment of their homes.
​
What attracted you to BEAR and this role?
I love a hands-on role where I get to meet new people everyday.
​
What are some of your hobbies / interests outside of work?
I love making the most out the beautiful state we call home by hiking, camping, and surfing.
​​
Is there anything unique from your past that helped prepare you for this?
Many of my past roles involved some intense field work that involved getting dirty and familiar with soil! I specialized in hydrogeology (the study of groundwater) in addition to geotechnical science during my geological engineering degree so I am well-versed in soil/structure interactions.
“We contacted Bear Engineering to check the condition of our foundation and understand what, if anything, needed to be done. They were professional, thorough, and explained everything clearly. It gave us peace of mind knowing exactly where things stand, and we got a detailed report at the end. We worked with Caroline, who was great throughout the process. Highly recommend!” - Nastia L
“Highly highly recommend, especially with Caroline! They are extremely professional and knowledgeable and will save you an incredible amount of money. In our case, we had a company try and scam us out of >$20k, but something didn't sit right with me. I paid ~$800 for an inspection by Caroline, and she did an incredibly thorough job. She answered all of my questions and left us feeling relieved that we wouldn't have to spend >$20k, gave us preventive measures for the future, and produced an amazing report for our uses.” - Joon Young L.
“I was very happy with the visit and inspection. Caroline was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and explained the various options about work that can be done on the foundation including the tradeoffs. I'd definitely consult again with you guys in the future if we have that need.” - Mark H.
