What did you want to be when you grew up?
An American Gladiator
In the past year, what project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
This past year, being what it was, I’m most proud of raising my amazing two-year-old daughter full time and also being a productive member of the team at Woods Bagot full time. It hasn’t been easy, but its been the most rewarding experience to watch my daughter grow.
What trends will dominate your industry in the coming months?
The workplace is going to evolve tremendously. The workspace will need to compete with the draw of working from home, so creating spaces that are flexible to meet a range of needs will be key. From discussions we’ve had with various clients in a wide range of fields, employee’s expectations of the workplace vary depending on what their home life is. Work can be an escape from the distraction of a family or a place to gather and collaborate with the team.
What led you to your current profession?
Growing up, my parents were constantly renovating our house by remodeling the kitchen, re-finishing the exterior, replacing the roof. My father did it all himself with the help of other family and friends, and I was always included. It didn’t feel like work, it was quality time. With an interest in construction baked into my person, when I started seeing spaces that were designed to be awe inspiring, I felt the pull to be the one who created these experiences.
