Number of years at firm: 6

One thing on my bucket list: Visit Norway to see the Northern Lights.

When I am not working, I am: Spending time with my daughters and attending their sporting events, hiking, traveling, and home renovation.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I am most proud of the work our multifamily studio has accomplished over the past four years. During that time, our team has designed more than 3,000 units of housing ranging from affordable to luxury. These projects often have an uphill battle with heavy community opposition. Our team does a lot of community outreach throughout the permitting process which makes us a vital advocate for approvals. As a planning board member in my hometown, I strongly advocate for more housing choices to combat the housing shortage in Massachusetts. It’s incredibly fulfilling when these new developments become part of the community.
