Let's get to know Renee better...
What are you most excited about in taking this position with BRP?
"I'm excited to join such a reputable firm and learn more about the architecture field. I'm also excited to see how I can incorporate my skills and experience into the firm and bring some value."
How do you spend your time outside of work?
"Since I am behind a computer and crunching numbers during the day, I like to do more creative things in my free time. I really enjoy cooking and baking - anything from southern comfort food to French and Italian dishes."
What is your favorite food or restaurant?
"I really enjoy Aviary. Their brussel sprouts are the best!"
If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
"I would love to go to Scotland and Ireland. My maternal side of the family is all Scottish and Irish and comes from the clan MacLeod. I would love to visit the Isle of Sky and Dunvegan Castle."
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
"The simplest, best advice has come from my mother. When I was younger and going through any kind of trials, she would just say "this too shall pass." I've learned that anything tough that I'm going through will eventually be resolved and to enjoy every moment of the good times, because they can also pass by."
