Q. How are you settling in at your new office?
A. It's been a great transition. I'm very comfortable with the team and the environment at Consigli.
Q. What's the biggest surprise you've had in starting the job?
A. Whenever you join a new company, especially one that always involves a team structure, you worry about transitioning to a new culture. What's surprised me is how easily I've been able to become a part of my team at the site of a new meeting house for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cambridge, as well as the overall organization - it's been seamless.
Q. What challenges do you see in your new position?
A. My role on the jobsite remains largely the same from my last position, but the challenges lie in adjusting to the differences in reporting and paperwork.
Q. How different is this job from your previous position?
A. The emphasis on training is huge. I've already started attending classes at Consigli Construction University, which is an invaluable resource when it comes to growing professionally.
Q. How close is this to what you imagined in high school you'd end up doing?
A. My father owned a site-work company, and even before high school, I was out in the field. I knew I wanted to be in the field full-time someday, taking on big projects. I'd say I ended up right where I wanted.
Q. Where's the best place to get lunch near your new location?
A. Boca Grande in Kendall Square - fantastic burritos.
Q. What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?
A. I want to progressively take on larger and more complex projects, and be building some of the most significant structures in Boston.
