As a successful business owner and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the architectural and construction industry I have performed tasks ranging from construction administration to preparing construction documents. I have worked on a multitude of building types: homes, commercial offices, pediatric clinic, interior lease space, television stations and multi-purpose arenas. This wide range of experience has allowed me to understand many different types of construction styles. While having had to learn how to multi task, clearly communicate to clients and draftsmen, guide clients, plan, organize, and supervise I was still responsible for creating and implementing solutions for clients while maintaining company growth utilizing capabilities and expertise in:
- Innovative/creative/cost effective solutions
- Strategic planning/Procedural development/Facilitating
- Construction administration/Detailing
- Writing skills/Proposals
- Production/Quality control
