While working in Construction Administration at Stanley Beaman & Sears for four and a half years, I developed a broad base of skills and furthered my keen interest in architecture. Now that I have moved to Michigan, I would like to renew my involvement in the building industry. My experience in drafting, construction administration, specifications, and administrative work allows me to be a very versatile employee who can fill in many gaps on a short-handed team. I have worked on complicated projects that required a high level of precision and attention to detail. I am good at managing priorities and accomplishing a lot of work efficiently.
