What is the best part of your job?

Problem-solving collaboration with a team of creative, inspiring teammates. I am so appreciative of how others think and absolutely love each teammate bringing their strengths and talents to the solution we are creating together.

What do you like to do outside of work?

Travel, learn new things, hike, cook, spend time with my dogs, my nieces and nephews, friends and family. I love live music—everything from the symphony to classic rock or contemporary pop. I enjoy the visual arts, trying new food or drink, and being active with others.

What is your favorite building or landmark?

I love Alvar Aalto’s work. I think his mastery of masonry, and detail is personal and therefore profound. The Pantheon is the most powerful experience I’ve had in a building, and it felt personal like it was hugging me as it had hugged countless others.

What is your advice to young professionals in your field?

Ask questions! Experiment! And follow-up with more questions! There are never too many questions or curiosities. Show interest and just keep asking, trying, and following up.
