As a teen, Sarah Devereaux was devastated when her favorite teacher laughed at her for wanting to be an engineer. Did he laugh because he didn’t think she was smart enough (she excelled in math and science), or because he didn’t think it was an appropriate career for a woman? Devereaux doesn’t know, and ultimately, it doesn’t matter. Rather than deter, his derision–coupled with her own desire to “build something” like her teacher/construction worker father–made her even more determined to pursue her chosen career. Today, the Gander, NL native is one of the leading environmental engineers in Atlantic Canada, a senior environmental engineer in the Halifax office of Dillon Consulting, a councilor for Engineers Nova Scotia and treasurer of the Atlantic Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of Nova Scotia. Her most recent accomplishment was to be named the first woman president of the Consulting Engineers of Nova Scotia (a group of almost 60 Nova Scotia-based companies providing jobs for more than 3,000 professionals in engineering-related services).
