Qu i z B ettina Meyer startled her coworkers with a yell when she found out that she had won SAICE’s latest Know Your Sector Competition. “I was at the office when I opened and read the email. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it correctly – it’s not every day you win R10 000. It was also a day after my birthday, so it felt like an awesome birthday gift, and a fantastic start to my Monday morning,” she tells Civil Engineering . Bettina’s key interest lies is “everything water infrastructure” and she loves solving problems. She is currently a civil engineering at GLS Consulting where she performs system hydraulic modelling and master planning for water bulk and reticulation networks. “Being an engineer gives me the opportunity to contribute to society in a tangible way. Being able to contribute in a small part to ‘ensuring available and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’ (SDG 6) makes me enjoy what I do,” she says. When she is not working, you’ll find Bettina in the mountains hiking, or on a court, field, or course playing tennis, netball, frisbee or golf. She also enjoys filming and editing fun videos. In line with her adventurous nature, Bettina will not be keeping her prize money, but will instead be putting together a treasure hunt with the R10 000 as the prize. The treasure hunt will take place in Stellenbosch on 1 October 2022 and anyone can enter (visit https://www. hiddentreasure.lawngames4you.co.za/ to register). “This is my way of serving the com- munity in a fun way. I hope the treasure hunt will get the community to enjoy the outdoors while going on an adventure in Stellenbosch,” she says. “Thank you so much to SAICE for running the competition. It truly was an awesome feeling winning it.”  Paying it forward
