Presentation Description:
Abstract: Portland cement manufacturers have developed a modified formulation of their most important product to respond to growing calls for reducing embodied carbon associated with construction. Portland-limestone cement (PLC) is a blended cement, with a higher limestone content, which results in a product that works the same, measures the same, and performs the same, but with a reduction in carbon footprint of 10% on average. As a key part of the construction industry, cement manufacturers have already made major contributions to help address global climate change. They recognize that they can play a big role and continue to innovate for better binders with even more favorable environmental performance. PLC is extensively tested, proven technology, readily available through the same supply chain that already successfully serves developers, builders, and contractors. It offers the design community a new way to think about concrete while still offering the resilience and sustainability they’ve come to expect from it.

Similarly, Stephanie is an active member in several associations in the Mid-Atlantic states, with a focus on topics such as technology, promotions, cementitious materials, and developing young leaders. Stephanie holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering with minors in Management, Marketing and Sales from Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, New York. While attending RPI, she founded and co-chaired Women in Engineering and Technology (WIET). She is also a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), American Concrete Institute (ACI), and Habitat for Humanity. In the construction industry, Stephanie previously was responsible for Stewart Companies/York Building Products Quality Control and Sales as their Director of Technical Sales & Services for Aggregates, Asphalt, Concrete, Construction, and Supplemental Cementitious Materials. Prior to that she was the Northern Division Business Development Manager for Master Builders Solutions, formerly BASF. She was the Mid-Atlantic Quality Control Manager for Aggregates, Asphalt, and Concrete at LafargeHolcim, formerly Aggregate Industries. Her first position, post-graduation was as the Quality Control Manager for SJA Construction in Philadelphia, PA. During her collegiate career she interned with BASF Chemicals as an Admixture SalesIntern, which is were she fell in love with the construction industry. Stephanie has an extensive background in technical services, quality control, and sales in ready-mix concrete, volumetric concrete, manufactured concrete products, precast, aggregates, asphalt, and supplementary cementitious materials. She also has a broad background in developing quality control and quality assurance programs, as well as working with value-added products and services while improving sustainability across all construction sectors. Stephanie lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with her two children. In their free time, they enjoy boating, fishing, oyster gardening, and collecting sea glass at the Mid-Atlantic beaches.
