A Massachusetts-registered landscape architect with over 12 years of experience, Rebecca has a broad design background that includes residential and healthcare design, campus master planning, corporate planning, and multi-family residential projects. She is involved with all phases of project development including local and state permitting; site planning, design, and detailing; and construction administration. Many of her projects include extensive local and State public permitting efforts such as Planning Board Approval, Conservation Commission Notices of Intent, MEPA Filings and Stormwater Management Plans.
Rebecca has been involved with permitting and design development of multi-family residential projects such as Seven Springs at Burlington, Massachusetts, a 425-unit residential community on 70 acres; and the 123-unit active adult community Settlers’ Hill in Sutton, MA. Through her student and professional work, she has focused on Therapeutic Landscape Design, as well as the related area of Universal Accessibility. Rebecca has developed assisted living residential projects incorporating facets of these topics into spaces for use by all generations and abilities.
Recently, Rebecca completed design documents for four themed courtyards at the Avita Memory Care Center in Needham, Massachusetts, and received site plan approval for faculty housing at the St. Mark’s School in Southborough, Massachusetts.
