EXPERTISE For the past twenty-plus years, I have worked on multiple small to mid-size projects simultaneously with increasing responsibilities and complexity. I have managed these projects by facilitating user groups to achieve consensus and/or prioritization for program development, writing master plans, developing space plans, overseeing project schedules and budgets, coordinating consultants, writing specifications, managing the production team, and administering projects through construction. My passion is to provide exceptional service on projects through better operational, sustainable and aesthetic performance of the physical space.
