Facts

  • Role: Communications+Brand and Leadership Team Member
  • Favorite DPR Core Value: Ever Forward. I genuinely believe that whenever you push beyond your comfort zone—whether you succeed or fail in the endeavor—it makes you better.
  • What You Love About Construction: The complexity. I’m fascinated by the way all the different aspects of a project come together and the precision required to get it right. I’m also in awe of the innovation and collaboration required to get from idea to execution.
  • First Job: I worked at the Hallmark Store in my local mall when I was in high school. I used to love to see what kind of cards people bought and whether they matched my expectations, but people always surprised me!
  • Most Useful App: Waze, without a doubt, though Uber Eats is growing on me.
  • Your Hero: My mom. I didn’t always appreciate the sacrifices she made for my brothers and me or the true impact she had on the decisions I made, but I’m forever grateful.
  • Word to the Wise (advice): “Comfort is the enemy of progress” – PT Barnum. You should definitely celebrate successes and enjoy what you achieve, but if it’s getting too easy, you’ve stopped growing.
