“We are partners. Our goal is to be THE trusted partner to the people we work for. We want them to turn to us early for advice in all things pertaining to strategy, planning, architecture, engineering and interior design. I left my previous firm and joined BSA because BSA afforded me access to expertise “in-house” I did not previously have. We are only as good as the expertise and experience we can bring to the partners that trust us.”

One moment I might be coordinating with mechanical engineers on equipment, and the next I might be talking through access controls of lighting with the architects and interior designers.”
