News From The Field
ORLANDO, Fl – NAVFAC Southwest Environmental Engineer Allison Cantu, was named Honorary Seabee at the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) National Joint Engineer Training Conference on May 14 in Orlando, FL.

“It was an incredible honor and a total surprise,” said Cantu. “I am so honored to be recognized for doing what I love. The rewards are always greater than the effort as I learn as much from the campers as they do. I’ve benefitted from an extraordinary high school chemistry teacher who pushed forward my career in engineering and in turn motivated me to drive inspiration to the next generation of engineers.”

Cantu was recognized for her selfless dedication leading the Navy’s Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Construction Camps for SAME since 2007.
