As a Project Manager and Design Leader, Matt plays a key role on some of the firm’s most significant educational projects including Boston’s new Josiah Quincy Upper School, a high-rise school opening this fall in Chinatown; Middletown Middle High School, Rhode Island’s first public middle high school; and the new Maria Weston Chapman Middle School, which offers students unique career pathway programs in a facility designed to support discovery and well-being.

Mirtha’s passion for people is evident in all aspects of her work. As a supportive and compassionate colleague, she knows HMFH’s people as well as the firm’s history and sees architecture as a vehicle to positively impact our communities. Deliberate and thoughtful in her work on our Racial Equity and Diversity committee, she ensures that equity, diversity, and inclusion are foundational to our design practice and the profession. Mirtha plays a pivotal role in shaping opportunities for students to see themselves in architecture, whether coordinating internships and career exploration days at HMFH or participating in outreach events in communities throughout the Commonwealth. Through all of this, she helps keep our office operations running smoothly, supports each individual’s professional development, and creates a welcoming environment for all.
