For the past year, I have served as a Green Building Consultant, guiding multiple projects towards achieving LEED, PHIUS, and EGC certifications. Recognizing my capabilities, MaGrann Associates recently promoted me to Project Manager, where I currently lead three residential developments on their path to green building standards. My dedication to sustainable construction extends beyond my professional role, as evidenced by my ongoing pursuit of knowledge through courses on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools like One-Click LCA and Athena.
