What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Morton Station Village is a four-story building with 40 units of mixed-income housing in Mattapan, Mass., and spans 34,000 s/f. It’s the first project I managed as a project manager, and it allowed me to take on greater responsibility. I gained invaluable experience in communication and collaboration with the entire project team, skills I can leverage in future projects. As I continue to gain experience, I’m becoming more confident and comfortable in my role. I’m excited to challenge myself further and the lessons and skills I learned from Morton Station Village will undoubtedly shape my career for years to come.
