I recently relocated to Las Vegas at the invitation of an Army buddy. I’m very mission-focused, highly-organized, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator. I have an MBA in Management Information Systems and a bachelor’s in Architectural History from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, my home town. I’m very proficient with Microsoft Office products: Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook.
I’ve worked as a project manager and consultant for the property development industry for over fifteen years. I conceived and coordinated the development of Country Cottages PUD, a 128-unit townhome community and remodeled the existing Lakeside Square Shopping Center.

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, US, Bachelors, Architectural History
Architectural History is a unique specialization that combines elements of Art History and Architecture. Architecture History is the study of architecture as it has evolved over centuries and across many different landscapes and cultures. Reaching back to the Ancient Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, Greek civilizations, and more, architectural history is a global history. The study of architectural history helps one to understand the landscape and urban built environment, beginning with ancient times and progressing to contemporary life. Understanding such history is important in fostering appreciation for how surrounding structures affect our lives in a broader cultural context.
