Her experience is multidisciplinary and includes technical and scientific as well as legal and regulatory knowledge and practice. She serves on her local Conservation Commission and Community Preservation Committee.

Ingeborg is an adjunct professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell Francis College of Engineering.

She received her undergraduate degree in Geology from Skidmore College and her Masters in Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania. She has been the recipient of several awards for her years of experience, including the Worcester Business Journal Hall of Fame in 2021 and the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions: Outstanding Achievement in Conservation in 2015.
