Vice Chair: Ayelet Ezran

Ayelet has a background in civil engineering and transportation planning and thirty years of experience in the transportation industry.  She joined SDOT in 2011 and has led interagency technical coordination on Sound Transit projects including Northgate Link, Lynnwood Link and East Link during the design and construction phases, as well as during the planning phase of the West Seattle and Ballard Link projects. Other highlights from her time at SDOT include supporting the Streetcar Program, the Alaskan Way Viaduct tolling committee, and Office of the Waterfront. Prior to joining SDOT, Ayelet worked as a consultant on several rail transit projects in Los Angeles County and on a range of other projects including state Climate Action Plans, transportation mitigation fee programs, and traffic simulation model development.

Communications: Sky Cheung, EIT

Sky is a coastal engineer with Mott MacDonald, specializing in coastal engineering design, shoreline stabilization work, and infrastructure studies supporting the Offshore Wind (OSW) industry. He earned his MEng in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Imperial College London before relocating to Seattle in 2022. Sky has contributed to several statewide initiatives - including the Washington State Ferries Electrification Program - to promote sustainable and climate resilient solutions for the region's coastal infrastructure. 

Meeting Coordinator: Una Savić , EIT

Una Savić is an engineer in training with experience in civil engineering with a concentration in coastal and ocean engineering. Ms. Savić’s experience includes dynamic revetment design, remediation capping, metocean analysis including wave runup, overtopping, tsunami and wave forces, extreme value analysis, design of coastal protections, and shoreline erosion mitigation. Her experience includes dredging constructability with a focus on contaminated sediment remediation. 

School Outreach Coordinator: Tasnima Naoshin, EIT

Tasnima is a researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, focusing on the US energy grid and technologies, natural hazard risk and resilience, and modeling and impact assessment. Her background is in civil and environmental engineering, with a B.S. from University of California, Berkeley and an M.S. from Stanford University. She is passionate about building better infrastructure systems to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts and sustainability needs. 

Member/Past Chair: Morgan Sanger, PE, LEED AP BD+C

Morgan Sanger, P.E. is a PhD student in geotechnical engineering at the University of Washington. Her doctoral research applies AI/ML to large geospatial and geotechnical data sets for improved earthquake hazard modeling and risk management.
