What recent project, accomplishment or award are you most proud of? We recently completed two massive Jaguar/Land Rover dealerships in Brooklyn and Long Island and they are stunning! The project started just before the pandemic and we worked through supply chain issues, too. But today, they are active and beautifully structured, bringing economic benefits and jobs to both areas.

What do you like best about being a woman in the AEC industry? I am one of several women AEC business owners and despite the bad rap our industry sometimes receives, it is a space where anyone with drive and talent can rise to the top. Construction, especially, is where brains are expected, brawn is an asset, and the ability to collaborate, essential!
