She retired in 2014 and has been working as a consultant for Yeh and Associates in their Denver office. She has worked in a male dominated environment for her whole career. She has been fortunate to have had some fantastic supervisors that were very supportive and encouraging. Yeh has been especially in favor of her being a part of the Women of Asphalt and bringing more women into the workforce. She started in 1982 when there were very few women in the industry. She has been the “first” or “only” female in many positions, training classes, meetings, etc. Tammy’s happy place is the kitchen cooking, baking and creating new recipes. She also loves to travel anywhere with her husband.
