Katelyn Reynolds is a Marketing & PR Coordinator at Downes Construction. She ventured into the AEC industry in 2018 and joined SMPS in 2019, eager to enhance her skillset and connect with fellow marketers. Prior to transitioning into the AEC world, Katelyn had little familiarity with the industry. ?It was a rewarding experience to engage with her peers who understood the field. Over the past five years, she has gained numerous relationships that she now considers friendships. She has gained extensive knowledge about the AEC industry and what it takes to thrive within it. Aside from her professional life, Katelyn is currently embracing her “new mom sourdough era.” Balancing the responsibilities of caring for her baby and prepping her sourdough starter, she finds joy in this new chapter of her life. If you’re curious about what she might be up to on a Friday night, you’ll most likely find her washing bottles, timing her stretch and folds, or preparing browned butter for the ultimate chocolate chip cookies. Nora Brown graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Psychology. Prior to transitioning to her role as a Marketing Coordinator at O,R&L Construction Corp, she began her career in special education while coaching track and field. Nora recently decided to pivot into the A/E/C industry as she's had a lifelong interest in architecture. She has been in the A/E/C industry for less than a year and is enjoying the new challenges and opportunities it brings. Nora joined SMPS to learn more about the industry, gain new experiences, and build professional connections. Nora looks forward to getting to know everyone and contributing to SMPS Connecticut! In spare time, Nora loves spending her weekends dog-sitting and going for long walks at Hammonasset Beach and Chatfield Hollow. When she's not outside, she enjoys playing Magic: The Gathering with her friends.
