Congratulations to mma’s 2023 Impact Award winner, Isis Hernandez.

The Impact Award celebrates an individual who has had the greatest influence on mma over the past year by going above and beyond in their daily tasks, being proactive, showing initiative, and helping others without being asked.

Isis joined mma in 2021 and has experienced tremendous career growth in that time. During this year she has embraced hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) studies and tackled an extremely challenging multi-family project in which she helped establish a new process for grading coordination.  These two items show her commitment to enhancing her professional abilities.

Isis also has become a very effective collaborator both with City reviewers and other design team disciplines within and outside mma. And, after setting a goal for herself to become more involved in the community, Isis worked with various leaders and business owners to kick off the first “Taste of Mexico” Walking Tour in Arlington’s International Corridor.

“I’m so impressed with Isis’s growth and initiative over the past year, not only in her mma work but also in her efforts to expand her community impact and network,” said President, Jacob Sumpter, AICP. “Isis is a valuable part of our team who consistently outdoes herself in taking projects and partnerships to the next level. After her successful Taste of Mexico Walking Tour, I can’t wait to see what she does next!”

Congratulations, Isis, on this well-deserved Impact Award!
