My Approach
It can be easy to concentrate on the minutiae of a project—document lists, projections—and lose sight of the broader picture. Ultimately, tax credit deals are projects that we as a society have collectively decided deliver a social good and should be incentivized. The projects I enjoy working on most are those where I work closely with the client to collaborate on creating buildings and housing where people need them most, as a benefit to our community.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, trying new restaurants, and tending my indoor herb garden.
