About Anika Careaga, PE

Anika Careaga of Jefferson City, Missouri, owner of EnviroProof, earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Missouri S&T in 1998 with an emphasis in environmental engineering. She has been a licensed professional engineer in Missouri since 2005. She began her career with MoDOT, where she evaluated erosion control products to create new specifications that are currently in use statewide.  She then joined Midwest Environmental Consultants in 2002 where she primarily worked in solid waste and stormwater design.

Anika and her husband, Jacob, also a 1998 S&T graduate, have a son who is enrolling at S&T to pursue a civil engineering degree. Jacob is the chief engineer for the Missouri Department of Conservation. Anika jokingly says she has OPD, or Obsessive Planning Disorder, a superpower that, used hand-in-hand with her love of spreadsheets, she tries to use for good rather than evil.
