More Information

Greatest achievement: Personally, there is no greater achievement than my two girls. They’re my greatest gifts and it’s the honor of my life to get to watch them grow and experience the world. Professionally, as a builder, completing a complex and complicated project that I know will have a significant impact on the community and help create more opportunities for Maine and families like mine, is what I am most proud of. Being able to tell my kids that Mommy built projects like Colby College’s Gordon Center for the Creative Performing Arts is deeply rewarding. And as I drive my kids by “Mommy’s Work” — the new Roux Institute at Northeastern University campus — I’m so proud to show it off!

Passion project: I have been competitively powerlifting for the last 10 years. It’s a sport that has taught me so much about myself, as well as the importance of consistency (just showing up) and grit (doing hard things). It’s an incredible community of people who focus together on building ourselves up, without worrying about aesthetics, and as a woman, that’s very empowering.

Lightbulb moment: I’ve realized that it matters much less what you do with your life and much more about who you do it with. Construction is all about working with a team to build something great. On many of our projects, we have hundreds if not thousands of people who help the project come together, and there is nothing more fulfilling than working with other like-minded individuals to build a lasting impact on the community. Every day I’m motivated to be the best person I can be, not just for myself, but for my team.

Influential book: “The Obstacle is the Way,” by Ryan Holiday

Favorite TV show: Anything on Bravo! Talk to me about all things “Real Housewives.”

Personal hero: My great grandma Noni. She was an impossibly strong woman — fiercely loyal, and a force to be reckoned with. Now that I am a parent myself, I have even more respect for her and the life that she built for our family. She persevered through so much and came out stronger and more resilient for it.

Favorite quote: My high school year book quote still holds true today!

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” — Dr. Seuss

Best way to recharge: I’m spending time with my husband and kids exploring Portland — either at the Eastern Promenade or trying new restaurants and breweries. I’m also on the board of local nonprofits that have missions to serve local youth and help develop the next generation of Maine leaders: the Mitchell Institute and Hardy Girls.

What is Maine’s biggest challenge? We have a workforce shortage here in Maine. It’s critical that we get more young people involved in the skilled trades, as well as the many other career pathways that exist in construction. It’s really important that our industry invests in partnerships with local schools and workforce development organizations to engage — early and often — with learners of all ages who might not envision themselves in a STEM industry like construction, but just need opportunity and exposure.

Dinner party guests: My maternal grandpa was a huge part of my childhood and I would love for him to meet my two daughters. Building fond memories with family is important to me and I hope to continue that tradition for my kids.
