Bio

I have 20 years of experience as an architect for projects ranging from elementary schools to research facilities. As a champion of sustainability for over a decade, I have served on the USGBC Massachusetts Board, the AIA Massachusetts Board, and been an active member of both AIA COTE and Sustainable Design Leaders. As a steward for education, I have presented sustainable solutions at conferences and led training seminars for general contractors and trades regarding the incorporation of sustainable design initiatives during construction. I also serve each year at the BAC in roles including Guest Instructor, Studio Critic, Thesis Sustainability Advisor, and Thesis Advisor. I have degrees in both mechanical engineering and architecture.

Our built environment has a direct impact on our everyday life. It should protect and improve our physical health, uplift our spirits, and provide spaces to mentally recharge. My objective is to achieve this with as little impact on the planet as possible by leading building users, owners, designers, and constructors through a collaborative process.

I enjoy developing and guiding the firm's sustainability goals. This includes positioning the firm as a leader through speaking, writing, and research. It also means working with project teams to set and meet sustainable design targets for every project as well as tracking our progress firm-wide.
