Matrix New World Engineering Leader Guests On Que Pasa NJ?
Olga Abinader interviewed on PBS Podcast.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) November 30, 2022 - Olga Abinader, Director of Environmental Review and Land Use Planning (Matrix), was a guest on Que Pasa NJ? with host Carlos Medina.
The conversation ranged from Abinader’s journey to America from the Dominican Republic and rise to her leadership role at Matrix. Abinader discussed her responsibilities at the company and how she represents the ‘strong female leadership’ she so strongly admires about working at the firm.
She continued, “My area of expertise is preparing and reviewing environmental impact statements. These are documents that the government and the municipalities require of developers who are pursuing land-use projects… These documents reveal the potential environmental concerns or impacts these projects might have on the local community.”
According to Jayne Warne PE, President, (Matrix) “Olga is an integral member of the Matrix leadership team. Her insights and perspective enable the company to better position itself with diversity and equality.”
