Hydrology & Hydraulics North Texas Office Manager
LOCATION: Fort Worth, TX




A Conversation With Amy:
Tell us about your career journey.
I began my career as an entry-level engineer with Dannenbaum’s Houston office, which is now part of GFT. I spent five years with the Houston hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) team before relocating to North Texas to be closer to family. Since 2020, I have been part of the North Texas office, where I now serve as the North Texas H&H office manager. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to have great mentors and opportunities that have helped shape my professional growth and prepare me for the role I hold today.
A significant focus of my work has been reducing flood risk through the management and implementation of drainage analysis and design projects, with a specialization in hydraulic and hydrologic modeling for channel, basin, and roadway improvements. That experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding how updated data and integrated infrastructure strategies can make a real difference for the communities we serve across Texas.
What makes the Texas H&H team unique, and what do you enjoy most about being part of it?
Our team works on a wide range of H&H projects, from planning and analysis through design and construction, for both public and private clients. That breadth of experience allows us to develop creative, cost-effective solutions that deliver meaningful benefits to our clients. What I enjoy most is the challenge of never having two projects be the same, which keeps the work interesting and rewarding.
What also sets our team apart is our commitment to leveraging updated data and advanced 2D modeling to reshape how communities across Texas define and manage flood risk. We’ve seen how combining regional detention strategies with targeted, localized infrastructure improvements can reduce flooding impacts. As rainfall patterns continue to shift and development accelerates, I’m proud that our team is focused on developing integrated, forward-looking solutions that are both scalable and adaptable to meet those evolving challenges.
Several members of our team recently shared their expertise during GFT’s INSIGHTS webcast, “Rethinking Flood Risk: Identifying and Reducing Impacts Without Dams,” which explores practical approaches to reducing flood risk.

How do you stay current with evolving industry practices, regulations, and technologies?
I stay current by attending training sessions and webinars focused on emerging hydrologic and hydraulic software, tools, and technologies. Our H&H team also participates in American Society of Civil Engineering meetings and attends the Texas Floodplain Management Association Conference each year, which helps us stay informed about industry trends, regulatory updates, and developments across Texas.
“Amy’s experience across a wide range of hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) projects allows her to see opportunities and solutions others might miss. That perspective contributes to the well-rounded expertise of our Texas H&H team and helps us deliver successful outcomes for clients across Texas.”

Texas Water Leader
What is a key lesson you’ve learned during your 13 years of experience?
I’ve learned that balance between work, life, and family, as well as strong communication, are essential to long-term success, both personally and professionally.
What inspired you to join GFT, and what keeps you here?
My journey with GFT began when the firm I was working for was acquired. What has kept me here is GFT’s people-first culture and the incredible colleagues I have the opportunity to work with every day.
How do you unwind or recharge outside of work?
I love cooking and spending time outdoors. Whether I’m gardening, hiking, or fishing, being outside helps me recharge. My backyard is my happy place. I am a crazy plant lady!
