I always experience pride when completing a site map for a project. Synthesizing information and then communicating through geography is very fulfilling. The pride from demonstrating what Emerald does to improve the communities our projects exist in is one of many reasons I enjoy my work.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I played trombone once in Carnegie Hall. I'll never forget the nervous pride as the band anticipated that very first song!
