Women of Balanced Environments
Fueled by Passion (and a little Coffee)

This Mother’s Day, we’re raising a glass (or a coffee cup) to the women who keep Balanced Environments moving forward every day.

Across every part of our business—from leadership and business development to operations, accounting, and client support—these women bring focus, care, and expertise to everything they do. Their work shapes not only our projects, but the experience behind them.

What Fuels You ☕

We asked the women of Balanced Environments a simple question:
what keeps you going throughout the day?

Earth Month

Lots and lots of water with my Mio for some yummy flavor!
Bublr in the afternoon for a little afternoon kick.
Zero sugar Powerade on those hot muggy days.

Jennifer Linder
Senior Account Manager

Create a Beautiful Eco-Friendly Oasis with Bioswales and Rain Gardens

I need a Diet Coke or Pepsi every morning.
Sometimes I might have to mix in a Monster Energy Drink to keep me going otherwise I drink water all day long.

Heather Griffith
Accounts Payable and AIA Billing

Green Roofs

Two shots of espresso in the morning and
a kombucha in the afternoon!

Samantha Serak
Sales Assistant

Ditch the Asphalt and Go Green with Permeable Parking Solutions!

Morning routine: green tea with collagen in my BE Yeti like I have my life together.
Midday crisis: Diet Coke (fountain if I’m feeling fancy, resealable if I’m being “responsible”).
Hydration era: approximately one gallon of water consumed exclusively from my rotating collection of colorful Starbucks sippy cups with straws.

Gayle Kruckenberg
Vice President Sales and Marketing

Green tea and water every day!
And an occasional sugar-free Red Bull when I need a boost – the iced edition is my fav!

Michenzie Munger
Executive Sales and Marketing Assistant

Green Roofs

Hot coffee at home in the morning, lots of water throughout the day.
On occasion, an iced green tea from dunkin donuts for an afternoon pick me up.
If I get really dehydrated I may add a passion fruit hydration pack (from Aldi!) to my water.

Rebecca Teffeteller
Business Development

Ditch the Asphalt and Go Green with Permeable Parking Solutions!

My go to is water & hot coffee 😊

2 Coffees first in AM
and the rest of the day is Diet Coke and Water!

Stephanie M. Borchardt
Office Manager

From early mornings to full project schedules, it’s the people behind the work who make it all happen. This small glimpse into their daily routines is just one way to celebrate the energy, dedication, and personality they bring to our team.

To the women of Balanced Environments—and to the mothers, mentors, and leaders in our community—thank you for everything you do, every day.

Happy Mother’s Day!
