This year's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and more (LGBTQ+) Pride Month 🌈 marked the launch of our LGBTQ+ of Gannett Fleming employee resource group (ERG), and we’re proud of our own Heather Wilkie for her hand in making this happen.

Our Pride Month celebrations continue with our next Lift Every Voice video!

Today, we celebrate the impact that LGBTQ+ individuals have had on history around the world, and we work to achieve equal justice and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community. We’re also proud to officially launch our newest employee resource group, LGBTQ+ of Gannett Fleming! 🌈⚧️ Watch the full video below and click to read the Q&A: https://bit.ly/3x6EH3A Thank you to our employees for sharing their perspectives!

Logical, mathematically inclined, and analytical. These are some words that might come to mind when one thinks of an engineer. But for Nelson Mora, you’d have to include: artistic, personable, and empathetic, too. The University of Florida graduate started his career at Gannett Fleming 12 years ago in roadway design. Since then, he’s shifted toward transportation planning and now oversees all staff, pursuits, and project delivery related to planning projects in Florida. “The engineering curriculum doesn’t teach you people skills,” Nelson added. But he knows that relating to people by communicating effectively is one of the most important aspects of his job. “I try to humanize our transportation projects through thoughtful verbal and visual communication and plenty of listening.” We asked Nelson a few questions to get to know him.
