Work Experience

               My portfolio of work includes education, campus planning, build-to-suit, and repositioning projects of various scales, from small classroom renovations to million sf office buildings. I am admired by my clients and coworkers for my ability to manage the planning, design, and construction of complex projects, coalescing diverse teams around shared goals and innovative solutions. I have the proven ability to manage large groups of consultants and contractors. For clients this means I am capable of streamlining communications and monitor project progress against the client’s objectives to deliver results, cultivating trusting and lasting client relationships.
