years and her ability to manage people, communicate with a wide array of
construction managers, and get the job done was unparalleled by others,"

with her as the owner's representative on a job, the project would run
smoothly. Her fit with Shawmut and our culture was natural, and we're
pleased to finally have her on board with us."
