How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
I have had a passion for design since I was young, building model houses with my grandfather and exploring flooring with my subcontractor father. That passion grew as I pursued my degree at Drexel University and new passion, Sustainability, began.
What do you do?
In my role at DLR, I engage with clients from programming through project completion to create beautiful, inspiring, safe and sustainable spaces. As a Project Manager, I ensure our teams have all the tools needed to stay on schedule and budget.
What excites you in the work you do?
I love an interior renovation. I love the field verification, the surprises uncovered during demo, and the endless puzzles that are space plans in an existing shell. I also love the sustainability aspect of building-reuse.

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?
Most recently, I was promoted to the Associate level at DLR Group. Hearing the impact I have had on my clients and peers that led to that elevation really made me realize how grateful I am to have so many opportunities in this unique career path.
