My role at Verdis, in one sentence: I’m an associate at Verdis focusing on research, especially on environmental subject matters that benefit our clients.

The best advice I’ve ever received: Before I flew the coop, after graduating from high school, my mother left me with an impacting proverb that still rings true in my mind: “Life is not a bed of roses.” She further explained what it means “life is not as easy as it looks. It’s beautiful, but has its thorns. And to enjoy its beauty, it’s imperative to work hard in order to succeed. Be focused, be kind, be good, and be gracious to yourself and to others.”

My favorite days always include: Spending quality time with my husband Eddy and our two beautiful children, Isabelle and Zoe.

My favorite place in the world is: Home! My favorite place in the world is wherever my family is.
