Mechanical Engineer, Kerr-Greulich Engineers Inc.; ME, Mechanical Engineering, University of Louisville

Mattingly climbed the ranks to staff-level engineer at Kerr-Greulich after only three years, much faster than many of her peers. She has served as the lead mechanical engineer on the education team for several years, despite the other teams being led by a more experienced senior engineer. She is continually assisting the project manager and her teammates to ensure the success of the entire company. Mattingly has taken charge of the many central plant replacements that Kerr-Greulich designs each year for the Jefferson County Public School District, leading and designing these projects herself. She has streamlined the process for editing front-end specifications, developed tools to assist with documentation management and developed a strong collaboration with contractors who bring her designs to life. While she loves being an engineer, the outgoing, social side of her also enjoys volunteering her time to mentor youth at church, serve on committees, present committee reports to the congregation and generally serve the community around her. Outside of work, Mattingly loves spending time with family, including her husband and two shih-poo puppies. In August 2023, they moved into a house on five acres that needed extensive renovations and repairs. Mattingly spends her days working at Kerr-Greulich and her nights and weekends helping with projects around the house. She also relishes time on the water in her boat, which she and her husband rebuilt, and is a lover of all things card and board games. She rarely misses an opportunity to attend a game night.
