As an internationally trained architect, honours graduate from George Brown College in Construction Management and a licensed Paralegal (specializing in Contract Law and the Construction Lien Act), I bring a unique combination of skills to every project. For the past three years, my responsibilities have expanded from an Architectural Designer to overall Project Coordination. I excel at managing stakeholder expectations by providing recommendations and analysis to ensure successful project delivery. I specialize in the design and development of construction drawings and oversee the production and review of all project-specific construction documents including Ontario Building Code reviews, specifications, schedules, cost estimates, RFIs and Shop Drawings.
