What would you say is your greatest professional accomplishment to date?

It’s difficult to point to a single accomplishment, but I’m most proud of my work on brownfields projects across South Carolina. Transforming blighted properties into developments that benefit communities is incredibly rewarding. My practice allows me to guide clients through complex environmental challenges in ways that support economic growth. For example, I recently helped a community hospital develop a new healthcare campus on a former brownfield site, turning an underutilized property into a vital community resource.
