Number of years at firm: 2.5

One thing on my bucket list: Visiting all of the U.S. National Parks! Last year I did a road trip around Utah & Arizona, stopping at Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon National Park. That trip sparked my interest in seeing what other parks have to offer around the U.S. - each one has so much beauty, it’s incredible to see!

When I am not working, I am: Outside of work I love to travel and spend time with my family (including my dog) and friends. I also recently just moved to a new neighborhood of Boston so I’ve been enjoying exploring/getting to know the new area!

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I recently became a Passive House Certified Builder which was a really rewarding accomplishment. I learned a lot about the construction behind ultra-efficient buildings while also making them resilient / durable to the climate and healthy / comfortable for all occupants. Since receiving this certification, our company was awarded our first Passive House project which I am currently co-managing! I could not be more excited to apply everything I’ve learned in the field!
