AIA

Associate, Architect

Erin is a diligent architect with a passion for the problem-solving that lies at the core of the profession, especially as designs come to life in the field during construction. With a significant number of K-12 school projects under her belt, she is especially interested in educational facilities due to their unique ability to connect a community and inspire pride in present and future generations. She is an active member of Finegold Alexander’s K-12 public schools committee and is equally engaged with the Sustainability Committee, for which she plans office-wide wellness events!

While still a full-time employee at Finegold Alexander, Erin is currently working from Kansas City, pursuing business development and other firm opportunities there. She earned her Master of Architecture from the Boston Architectural College, and her Bachelor of Arts from Rockhurst University. When she’s not problem solving, Erin relaxes with yoga, movies, and a special affinity for craft beers and breweries… In Kansas City, she misses her Boston commute, a time she used to delve into good book on the subway!

Need to Know

What makes you laugh? Laffy Taffy wrapper jokes. They get me every time.

What would you sing at Karaoke night? Definitely Spice Girls – Wannabe…oh, or BIG – Juicy.

If you could go back in time to change one thing, what would it be? I’m not so much in the camp of changing things; I’m more a fan of learning from the lesson and moving forward.
