Gabby Faltin is an Army engineer and first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve who supports major infrastructure projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District, moving between office coordination and on-site work at dams and flood risk management systems. Often the only Soldier on a civilian team, she combines technical expertise, adaptability, and a calm approach to solving complex problems that directly affect nearby communities.
Her fascination with engineering began in childhood visits to Chicago, where curiosity about bridges and learning the Chicago River had been reversed sparked her career path. After ROTC, an Army scholarship, and years of work in the Omaha District, she now bridges military service and public infrastructure, helping protect regions while steadily building a career shaped by intentional goals rather than chance.
