Greetings everyone! My name is Colleen Bush, and I am the new Executive Director for Phi Sigma Rho. I am thrilled to be involved with the sorority again, and to be a part of such a hard working and dedicated group!
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University, where I became a member of the Kappa Class of the Beta Chapter. I graduated from OSU in 1996 with my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, and again in 2000 with my Master of Science in Civil Engineering. I married my high school sweetheart Dave in 1996. I began my career in structural engineering in Columbus, designing large steel and concrete structures for bulk material handling facilities. In 2000, Dave and I decided to move back to Cincinnati to be closer to our families. In Cincinnati, I worked for a medium size consulting firm designing commercial and residential buildings. I maintained sole responsibility for the projects I undertook, including client acquisition, contract negotiations, and design documents.
After returning to Cincinnati, Dave and I started our family. We are now the proud parents of four fantastic children: Abby (6 years old), Katie (4 1/2 years old), Tyler ( 2 1/2 years old) and Jason (8 months old).
In November of last year, I made the decision to leave my job so that I could focus on raising our family full-time. I am very fortunate to have this opportunity and I feel that it is right for us. I love being with my children and helping them to learn and grow. At the same time, I am also excited about becoming the sorority's new Executive Director, so that I can continue to encourage and support the next generation of women preparing for their own careers in the technical fields.
Feel free to drop me a line any time to chat or just say hi. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, and building some great new Phi Rho memories together!
