McKinley is a junior at the University of Vermont studying Environmental Studies with a concentration in ecological design and a minor in Green Building. Her future goal is to work in sustainable design and construction and she is very interested in green building programs like the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). McKinley grew up in Walpole, MA where she gained experience in the construction field from her father who owns a heavy highway infrastructure company outside of Boston. In her free time, McKinley enjoys skiing and hiking.

While working on our team, McKinley will be completing a variety of tasks both in the office and in the field. She is excited for the opportunity to learn more about sustainable residential construction and green building practices in Vermont.
