Public works is about far more than roads, bridges, and infrastructure. At its core, it is about improving communities, serving the public, and creating a lasting impact for future generations.

In a recent episode of The Public Works Podcast, Nicole Mi, PE, MBA, shares her inspiring career journey in engineering and public service. The conversation explores not only the technical side of public works but also the leadership, vision, and commitment required to make a meaningful difference.

During the episode, Nicole discusses:

Her journey into engineering and the path that led her to public works.
The remarkable scale, complexity, and community impact of the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works.
Why her work with LACERA plays an important role in supporting the long-term financial security of public employees.
Valuable advice and encouragement for the next generation of engineers and public service professionals.

Throughout the conversation, one message stands out: successful public service is about more than delivering infrastructure projects. It is about building strong teams, developing future leaders, and making decisions that positively impact communities for decades to come.

Whether you're an engineer, public works professional, student, or anyone interested in leadership and public service, this episode offers valuable insights and practical lessons from an accomplished industry leader. It serves as a reminder that the most meaningful careers are built not only on technical expertise, but also on a commitment to serving people and strengthening communities.
