What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? I am most proud of the younger staff that I have recently mentored. I watched them ask questions, expand their knowledge, become more confident, and in turn, gain more independence with responsibilities. I hope that I am providing them with a strong base upon which to develop as I had when I first started in my career. I still think back to all that my mentors did for me over the years.

Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? The amazing women working on the various project construction sites in my career inspired me the most. I am always inspired by their authenticity, grit, and resilience.
