Rebecca is a green building consultant and educator with Watershed. She is a native of Birmingham and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado in 1995 with a degree in Social Ecology. While out west, she worked in passive solar adobe construction and became a certified Permaculture Designer. She obtained her Masters of Architecture from Tulane in 2000, and has been a LEED accredited professional since 2002.
After graduation and marriage, she worked with Bailey Architects in Houston as a green building specialist. Rebecca managed the certification of Emerson Unitarian, the first LEED certified church project in Houston, and the second in the country. As the Advocacy Committee chair of the Greater Houston Area Chapter of the USGBC, she helped to educate City of Houston staff about green building methods, and worked with them to pass a Green Building Resolution for the City in 2004. She then served as the Co-Chair of the Greater Houston Area Chapter, until moving to Fairhope, AL in 2005 where she now serves on the board of the AL Chapter of the US Green Building Council as the LEED for Schools advocate.
Rebecca worked with Walcott Adams Verneuille Architects for almost four years, on green projects ranging from the Dauphin Island Sea Lab's new Shelby Center to model home designs for a conservation community in North Baldwin County. In 2007 her family moved into their newly constructed green home in Fairhope, which they continue to use as a teaching tool to illustrate sustainable building strategies for the gulf coast. |
