Your Newest Green Associate

This post is coming to you from a LEED Green Associate! Yes, I passed the exam which now makes me a Green Associate. Up next…LEED BD+C.

To be completely honest, passing this exam felt like graduating all over again. Proving that I could accomplish something that is not so easy to accomplish! Starting out in this career has brought on additional insecurities that were unexpected, at least for me. Insecurities that come from 1) not knowing the answers to what seem like simple questions, 2) being at the bottom of the food chain, and 3) well, being treated like an intern. All of those elements were anticipated, yet I have been surprised by how much they have affected my confidence in my work. With that said, passing the LEED GA exam on my first attempt gave me a lift and some reassurance that I am capable!
