10 Questions with Kelsey Gill
Where would you spend all your time if you could?
Shasta Lake. Specifically, on a houseboat.
What is the luckiest thing that has happened to you?
I was born with a twin sister. I couldn’t imagine life without her!
What are you most looking forward to in the next 10 years?
Moving out of California. I’ve lived in the Sacramento area my whole life and I can’t wait to explore other parts of the country.
What’s worth spending more on to get the best?
Quality athletic clothing. Specifically, Lululemon.
What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?
The benefit of cold exposure to the human body. But I would probably just be reciting what I learned from What Doesn’t Kill Us, by Scott Carney.
What’s the best way to start the day?
The best way to start the day is with music. Growing up, I would wake up to the smell of bacon and the sound of some 70s/80s rock band that my dad had playing on his speakers. Now I can’t get out of bed without first putting on some music.
What hobby would you get into if time and money were not an issue?
Cooking. Rock climbing. Tennis. Equestrian. Surfing … I can go on!
What is the best part of your job?
The people I work with!
How did you get into engineering?
I’ve always loved science and math, so I knew from an early age that I wanted to become an engineer. I specifically chose civil engineering because it was the most closely associated with the physical world and the outdoors. I wanted a job that would take me outside of the office from time to time.
What do you do for your job?
As an intern with MBK’s Water Rights Group, I contribute to team efforts made to assist clients in obtaining, maintaining, and using their water rights. I also spend a lot of my time conducting field visits around the Sacramento Valley to monitor groundwater levels.
