About

I'm a designer who is passionate about making things with a positive impact. I strive to create space that is transformative for people and the environment. 

I am a licensed architect in multiple states and a regional design resilience & sustainability leader in Gensler’s Boston office. I am a dedicated advocate for environmentally conscientious design and focus on combining the aesthetic and technical dimensions of design in a way that drives sustainability and resilience in the built environment. I lead the firmwide Gensler mass timber group, the ‘Gensler Mass Timber Collaborative’ and advise on mass timber projects globally, including NEXT Labs and Proto-Model X for Sidewalk Labs. To give back to the design community is important to me - I am an Adjunct Professor at Wentworth Institute of Technology, where I teach graduate level courses on mass timber and sustainable design. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design from Bates College and a Master of Architecture Degree from the University of Oregon with a Certificate in Technical Teaching.
