How might clients describe you? Thoughtful, caring and responsive.
What inspires you? A project that is technically challenging and has a social impact. The Egypt groundwater lowering projects have been highly inspiring as I have a great interest in classical art and antiquities. Further inspiration came after having the opportunity to visit the antiquity sites for which the groundwater models were developed.
Which one of CDM Smith’s core values do you identify with the most? Teamwork—I am motivated by and work to motivate those I partner with. I have been fortunate to work with intelligent, diligent and conscientious professionals at CDM Smith who are dedicated to the projects and clients we serve.

Going to the theater, both my daughter and husband are involved in community and school theater; animals, I currently have two dogs, four chickens and have had many cats; and sports, including tennis, hiking, kayaking, as well as watching my daughter play college field hockey and lacrosse.
