.I have many years of broad based architectural design and project management experience with skills to overcome challenges and deliver effective solutions. Outstanding program and leadership capabilities with excellent communication and presentation skills, strong management abilities.

I have been responsible for all aspects of construction administration and project management. I have also been responsible for the restoration and modernization of twenty-four school buildings for the New York City School Construction Authority.
