Background

About Michaela Speas

I am an alumna of the Virginia Military Institute with a bachelor's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. I live and work in Roanoke, VA as a Civil Engineer for Roanoke County in Development Services where I am responsible for a wide variety of tasks including conducting engineer plan reviews for new and existing development projects to ensure stormwater runoff compliance, assist in managing stream restoration and greenway projects, and manage and maintain local stormwater infrastructure such as high hazard dams. Most of my previous professional work experience is in Bridge and Ancillary inspection as a Team Leader, which was a role I loved, however as my family began to grow the need to work close to home grew stronger as did my desire to expand my knowledge and experience in Civil Engineering.
