Unfortunate circumstances led me to a Chapter 2 career that I absolutely love. As a licensed architect who worked in that capacity until the 2009 crash, and with a personal family health crisis in 2012, I was forced to quickly go back to work and consider other options. Fortunately, I had led the project pursuit and marketing efforts for the architecture firm that I had been at for 9 years. Also, as a Project Architect/Project Manager, much of my time was spent collaborating with and supporting my clients. The combination of my past experience was the perfect background for the Business Development role. I have been at Degenkolb since 2014 and every day I am grateful for the brilliant, collaborative people that I work with.
