During her 2+ years with the firm, Alanna has designed and skillfully managed multiple complex projects on the Cape and Islands while building expertise in the design of affordable housing neighborhoods with high sustainability and energy goals.
She currently oversees a substantial and growing body of Union’s attainable and supportive housing projects on the Cape and Islands.

Alanna received her Bachelor of Architecture, summa cum laude, from the Pratt Institute.
