Becoming certified or registered in a field of study demonstrates a professional level of knowledge, skill and expertise. Trautman Associates' Marisa Scroger, RA, NCIDQ, has successfully completed two such professional accreditations over the past year, becoming a registered architect in 2018 and a certified interior designer in the spring of 2019. Both certifications are challenging and require extensive testing and successful completion of several knowledge-based exams. Marisa was also promoted to the position of Associate last year. 

Congratulations, Marisa!
