About 

Most recently, I was the Project Manager for the programming and concept design for a new science facility at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. 

Simultaneously, I recently completed the Construction Administration process for the Connecticut College Science Center at New London Hall in the role as the Project Manager/Architect. The project is a 43,000 GSF renovation and addition to the oldest academic building on campus. The program includes teaching laboratories, research laboratories and offices for the Biology, Botany and Computer Sciences Departments. LEED Silver is being targeted.  I have greatly enjoyed working on this project from the early planning phases in June 2010 through the completion of construction. 

As of November 2012, I have resigned from my position as an Associate at Payette in Boston, MA to relocate to the New Jersey to be near family.   I am in the process of finding a firm to join with a commitment to the creative design process and innovative problem solving.

My involvement on projects ranged from marketing for new work, and all aspects of the design and construction process.
