Central Region Hydrology and Hydraulics Discipline Leader


Sarah joined Neel-Schaffer in 2023, bringing over 10 years of experience to her role as the Central Region Hydrology and Hydraulics Discipline Leader. She is responsible for managing all hydrology, hydraulics, and drainage projects in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

As a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) one of her areas of focus is floodplain analysis, mapping, and FEMA compliance. Using her background in erosion control, site design, roadway, and bridge hydraulics, she also supports Departments of Transportation across Neel-Schaffer’s nine-state footprint.

“One of the things about Neel-Schaffer that keeps me passionate about my job is the opportunity to work so closely with our state and local communities,” said Sarah. “You come to work every day knowing that what you are working on will impact and improve the lives of your neighbors. The great and collaborative co-workers also support making this a fulfilling job.”

Outside of work, Sarah is active in her community supporting and volunteering with the American Society of Civil Engineers through local and national roles including as a Presidential Appointee to the EWRI governing board and Chair of the Committee on Pre-College Outreach. She also assisted in creating a local non-profit, Friends of Mississippi River Basin Model, to save a local landmark and spread awareness of our historic preservation efforts.
