VP of Academica Affairs Catherine Koverola (pictured right with Kathleen) introduced Kathleen by saying:

"When I met with Kathleen...I was so struck by her thoughtfulness in integrating and reflecting up on the connections between education, advocacy and social justice.  Kathleen has found a very unique way to draw upon her own skills and talents to be a voice for change in the domain of sustainble building.

Kathleen's firm, O'Brien & Company, is highly sought after in both the public and private sector guiding the construction of both new and existing buildings. She's brought together gifted individuals and, through a spirit of collaboration and innovation, which is so true to the Antioch way, she has raised the bar within the industry."
