“Prior to working for NTCIC, I worked for an adaptive reuse development firm and was involved with a project in Baltimore that was financed by NTCIC. I joined NTCIC about 6 months before the project financing closed, so I got to see it come together on both sides and then watch the construction efforts bring the incredible building to life. It was an incredible full-circle moment to be a part of and made me so proud of the work we do here.”
