What did you want to be when you grew up?

My desire was in the arts as my father was a painter and I began my career as a designer. A creative discipline is a profound benefit to my work and how I structure these dynamic renewable integrations. The composition still matters.

In the past year, what project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?

All of my projects are original and have taken a life of their own—all of which I am proud to have procured, managed and instituted for the owner of the portfolio/property. All hold a special place in my portfolio of discipline at NYS Sustainable Corp.

What trends will dominate your industry in the coming months?

The paradigm of commercial RE self sustainability, with the ability to generate a full suite of energy, heating and cooling production along intelligent management data to support all local laws and regulatory obligations.

What books or social media influencers would you recommend to other women?

“Voices of Powerful Women: Words of Wisdom from 40 of the World’s Most Inspiring Women” written by: Zoe Sallis

What led you to your current profession?

The integration of professional studies, industry experience and my out of the box entrepreneur attributes.

How do you contribute to your community or profession?

I support local associations and contributing groups with added educational support as it relates to the renewable energy sector and how this sector can positively impact business, community and world conditions.
