About

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

I have over 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 as co-chair of the AIA Massachusetts Government Affairs Committee. As a steward for education, I have presented sustainable design 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 Practice Examiner, studio critic, and thesis advisor and have been a guest lecturer at Harvard University. I have degrees in both mechanical engineering and architecture.
