Kaitlin Beeman will be a Senior in Architectural Engineering at Kansas State University. At the university Kaitlin has served multiple important roles within the University Panhellenic Council. She has held internships at JE Dunn Construction and Burns & McDonnell, both in the Kansas City area, which led to her involvement and interest in fire suppression systems.
