Recent milestone or project you’re most proud of? I am incredibly proud of two recent milestones: my promotion to Assistant Project Manager And the successful completion of the Brightview Wakefield Memory Care project. Navigating sensitive resident-occupied areas demanded exceptional planning, communication, and flexible execution. Despite constraints, we delivered on time and under budget, achieving high client satisfaction through open communication and transparency, fostering trust for future collaborations. This strengthened my leadership and client relationship skills. This milestone and the promotion will fuel my future career challenges.

Person who shaped your development, and how? My team in Chapmans’ N.H. office shaped my professional growth. Straight from college, their support, collaboration, and guidance were invaluable. They fostered accountability, learning, and development, teaching me essential skills from technical problem- solving to client communication. Their continuous push for improvement and mutual trust helped me gain confidence, take on more responsibilities, and earn a promotion. I’m grateful for their inspiring influence.

 and the work- life balance they promote. 

They are the foundation of my career.
