“Purple emphasizes bringing together the brightest people from all backgrounds and industries. The diversity of talent lends itself to an energetic, thoughtful and creative problem-solving approach that is unmatched anywhere else.”

“The most misunderstood aspect of my role is how integrated it is across client businesses. While my work is focused on specific goals, I have line of sight into every business decision a company makes, and how it will affect them.”

“Coming from a public relations background, I’m always curious about both verbal and nonverbal communication cues and how they impact the stickiness of a message. Something that I think most people miss is how a spokesperson comes off in-person, virtually, or during an interview – which can ultimately change how a message is delivered or perceived. Words matter, but the way those words are delivered matter more.”

“The most fascinating part of my job is working on the energy transition and net zero energy across all projects. Sustainability, renewable and clean energy sources have always been a passion of mine, and now I’m fortunate to be part of a team that is helping to make meaningful change for the future.”
