What aspects of working from home have you enjoyed most? I can wear my tie-dyed Crocs to work every day! All joking aside, I’m most productive very early in the morning so having that extra quiet time before the household wakes up – with a cup of coffee (or four), no commute, and no distractions – has become an enjoyable routine. The rest of the day can sometimes devolve into controlled chaos with a five-going-on-fifteen-year-old daughter, animals, spouse, and whatever else pops up on top of work, but that’s when I enjoy that my office has a door and that my headphones are noise canceling! 

What is the best advice you have received, and who was it from? A framed copy of this quote has been handed down for five generations on my mother’s side, and now hangs in my home: “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” John Lubbock - The Use of Life, 1894. Since childhood I’ve interpreted this to be a reminder of the importance of staying grounded, authentic, and present. 

What recent project or transaction are you most proud of? I could easily say all of DPS’ projects. DPS partners globally with clients in the life sciences industry, including novel therapies, who utilize some of the most innovative scientific technologies. This includes clients who are engaged in COVID-19 vaccine development and therapeutics and their associated manufacturing facilities. Watching projects of this caliber advance from feasibility through construction to being fully operational is very rewarding.
