How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?

For as long as I can remember it’s been a part of who I am: building with Legos, my dad’s erector set, drawing plans and being in awe of Chicago’s skyline during school field trips. I have always loved architecture, so it seemed a natural choice.

​

What do you do?

At this point in my career, project management, so a lot of budget spreadsheets, code analysis, project schedules, and coordination between our team internally, and with our consultants, contractors, and the owner’s representatives.

​

What excites you in the work you do?

I have always been a problem solver, so I love helping to figure out solutions to a client’s vision. What excites me is being a part of such a creative, energetic team of professionals, and seeing what they will think of next!

​

Who or what inspires you professionally?

Travel. It can be anything from the pattern of a landscape’s shapes and shadows as seen out of an airplane window to seeing a city in Europe for the first time. It always leaves me feeling inspired.

​

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?

I call the Papillion Landing project my trifecta – a terrific team, a great contractor, and the best client. It was such a fun project to be a part of, it’s hard to top that!
