Cheyanne Harris is a civil engineer committed to client service and continual growth.
To Cheyanne, Balance and Belonging (B&B) is an opportunity for people to feel comfortable expressing their opinions and to be acknowledged that their contributions are being heard. She learns easily from others who are transparent about lessons learned. And, exposure to colleagues and clients from other backgrounds has influenced how she communicates.
Effective two-way communication is the crux of her Balance and Belonging story. “The people I work with, including my supervisor (JP Robinette) and the leadership team in Sacramento, have invested in me and support my development,” she says. In turn, being vocal about her interests has given her access to the right opportunities.
“I am pretty impressed with my growth while at BC,” she adds. “In the time that I’ve been here, I’ve been supported in pursuing opportunities that are interesting to me.”
To be authentic, inclusion needs action behind it, she adds.
“It’s not enough to just be in the room. All people need to be heard.”
“I look forward to seeing how B&B progresses as time goes on. Good work is being started with the 10 commitments and ongoing reporting.”
