As a leader in ASCE, I endorse the Society’s three initiatives. Sustainable
Infrastructure is one of those initiatives. ASCE is a founding member of the
Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), which developed the Envision rating
tool. ASCE also publishes a Report Card for America’s Infrastructure, which
depicts the condition and performance of the nation’s infrastructure and sees
the solution in terms of leadership, sustainability, resiliency, maintenance, and
prioritized investment.

Since becoming a member of the Sustainability Coordinator Network, I have had the
pleasure of working with a wide range of dedicated colleagues within the SCN across
a large cross-section of TRC’s practices from the East Coast to the West Coast. I have
the opportunity to provide our office with the knowledge of how sustainability is great
for our business model and the resources needed to make sustainability a focal point
going into the future.

I have been fascinated with how we can make our cities more sustainable and am
currently in a graduate program in NYC called Sustainability in the Urban Environment.
Outside of TRC I am on the Emerging Professionals Committee for Urban Green
Council - the NYC chapter of the USGBC. I love being a part of a community in NYC
where we can discuss our work, share best practices, and continue to learn from one
another in order to make our city a better place to live. I am also proud to be on a
team at TRC that is working hard to reduce NYC’s environmental impact and supports
the city’s sustainability goals.

Remarkably and reassuringly, what has become apparent in recent times is that op-
erating our lives and businesses in sustainable ways leads to greater satisfaction, effi-
ciency and long-term profitability. I am involved in sustainability, both in my personal
life and in my working life, in order to disseminate that message and to implement
initiatives that incrementally contribute to the achievement of those outcomes.

As a member of the Sustainability Coordinators Network, I am excited to serve as a
liaison between such a meaningful movement and the individuals I see in the office
daily. As new colleagues enter our office, I ensure they are aware of and use our re-
sources such as recycling bins, used battery bin, and reusable dishes provided in our
location. It’s important to me that they not only know that we print on both sides of
paper when possible, or that we use environmentally friendly dish soap in our kitchen,
but also why we use these practices
