Bio
Martine Etschmaier
I reported to Tia in my first job after finishing my Bachelors. She quickly became a mentor to me and I have tried to emulate her professionalism and leadership skills throughout my career. Not only is she kind and patient, but smart and sharp! She taught me a great deal about being an effective people and project manager. She treats everyone with class and respect. I could not have asked for a better manager and I would have never left if it was not to start graduate school.

I have closely worked with Tia and Chase Park Grants for several years now helping municipalities receive grant money to improve the aging infrastructure. We have successfully received funding for several projects that enabled us to move forward with critical projects. Working with Tia is not just effective, it is also enjoyable as she is very personable.
