As a senior sustainability consultant, Vanessa manages holistic sustainability services with our Carbon Impact Team. She has spent the last two decades managing green building and sustainability projects across a range of sectors including health care, laboratories, commercial buildings, mixed-use developments, and city master plans.

Vanessa is a well-known and respected thought leader on sustainability frameworks such as LEED, WELL, and Fitwel. She’s committed to working with project teams to integrate principles of health, well-being, and regenerative development. Having partnered with various government authorities in the development of green building code regulations, she has a wealth of expertise in environmental consulting and management services. She has also served on various U.S. Green Building Council committees at the local and national level.
