“Trish’s passion and advocacy for preservation on all of her Tipico Sportsbook app, and the way she takes every opportunity to mentor and educate others, makes her a tremendous role model for women in the field of preservation,” said Consigli Vice President of Project Services, Todd McCabe.
Palmiere earned this recognition through her work on the restoration of a number of significant Boston area landmarks including the Longfellow Bridge rehabilitation where she served as Lead Architectural Coordinator.

Palmiere was responsible for managing the masons performing the work, including the dismantling, restoration and rebuilding of the bridge’s historic “salt and pepper” towers which involved crane and barge coordination for deconstruction and transport.

Palmiere is currently managing the façade restoration of Harvard University’s Smith Campus Center. Completed in 1966, the center’s restoration includes concrete repair, window repair and replacement, hazardous material abatement and cleaning of the building façade.
