As SEM’s Canadian representative, I do fit most of the stereotypes: hockey fan, annoyingly polite, and you might hear me say “aboot”. When I’m not baby-proofing my house, I’m exploring North Carolina’s landscapes with my camera and dogs.

Program & Account Manager
Fitwel Ambassador, LEED Green Associate, HERS Associate
A NY native that moved south to follow the sun. I actively look for ways to live a low or zero waste lifestyle, and learn more about sustainable brands and practices regularly. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing sports, and (when I can) traveling.
