What interests you about The Alliance?

I am drawn to mission driven organizations who convene diverse stakeholders and tackle urgent and complex issues. My role at DLR Group is rooted in climate action but I want to deepen my impact locally and help advance the mission of the Alliance.  

Why did you decide to join the Board?

The Alliance Center has been a part of my professional journey since 2008, when I started as a graduate student intern at USGBC Colorado. Looking back, I know my career was enriched by being part of the tenant community. I joined the Board to give back to the Alliance and to build new connections with likeminded people.
