Mary is fully aware of the building industry’s impact on the environment and has dedicated her professional career to innovative design methods to constitute change by transforming the ways buildings are designed, planned and constructed. Her MSLS education has added another layer to her knowledge base and provided her with tools to help lead the movement toward global sustainability.

During her Master’s dissertation, she collaborated with Dublin City Council’s Planning Department in Ireland and utilized the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development – a whole‐systems tool for planning in complex systems – to create an ideal, envisioned urban planning process. This was measured against an analysis of current planning practices resulting in recommended actions to help Dublin City Council move toward a more sustainable future.

Though the majority of her experience relates to the building and facilities industry, she is interested and capable of expanding into a broader strategic realm, working towards being a leader that brings positive change in many capacities from buildings, operations, to cities, businesses and governments.
