What SMPS committees are you involved with, if any?
Membership Committee!
What drew you to joining SMPS?
After joining NV5 and entering the AEC industry nearly two years ago, several mentors and colleagues encouraged me to get involved with SMPS Boston. I quickly jumped in, attending as many local events as I could, eventually joining both the Exchange Mentorship Program and the Membership Committee. Since joining, everyone I’ve met through SMPS has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive, and I’ve had the opportunity to build connections with some truly wonderful people. I’m so grateful to be part of such an amazing community!
How do you explain your job to people who have never worked in AEC?
Think of me as the person who helps package and present what our engineers do. I coordinate proposals for new projects, write and edit project descriptions, put together resumes and qualifications, manage deadlines, and work with our technical teams to make sure we’re presenting our experience in the strongest way possible.
What is your favorite part about your work?
I love that no two days are exactly the same. My role is very deadline-driven and depends on the projects our teams are pursuing at any given time. On any given day, I could be coordinating a proposal, developing project narratives, or updating resumes and qualifications. The next day, I could be updating our collateral materials and information, or helping out with various marketing initiatives for our team. It requires a mix of writing, organization, communication, creativity, and project management, and I love learning more about each aspect every day!
What is a way that you de-stress from work, either in or outside of the workplace?
After wrapping up for the day, you can find me going for a walk around the neighborhood or heading to a local workout class. It really helps me decompress after the day and move into my evening. I've also taken up needlepoint, which is a great way for me to turn my brain off at the end of the day.
What are you currently watching, reading, or listening to?
Lately, I’ve been on a huge Kristin Hannah kick! Historical fiction was never really my go-to genre, but her books have completely changed that. I love getting wrapped up in her stories while learning more about important moments in history. When I’m not reading, you can usually find me listening to a pop culture or true crime podcast or making my way through a Bravo series I somehow missed the first time around!
