Meet Courtney Kelly: Award-winning civil engineer, Courtney Kelly, has made a name for herself both as a well-respected construction management professional and self-published children’s book author. She earned bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering and math as well as a master’s degree in civil engineering from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. Courtney also holds an MBA from Lamar University and is a licensed professional engineer. In 2023 she was selected as an Engineering News-Record Texas & Louisiana Top Young Professional. Most recently, she became an adjunct professor at SMU teaching Quality Management in Construction. Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, the experience of evacuating from Hurricane Katrina during her sophomore year of high school sparked her curiosity in civil engineering. Courtney transformed her story into her self-published children's books, Celeste Saves the City and Celeste Tunnels Underground, which encourage readers to pursue careers in civil engineering and construction. Since the release of the first book in 2022, over 5,000 copies have been sold across 15 countries and the books have been translated into French, German, and Spanish.
