What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative work environment.

I am a proactive and detail-driven project manager with over 7 years of experience overseeing ground-up construction across commercial, multifamily, and light industrial sectors. My expertise lies in managing the full project life cycle, from due diligence and design coordination to budget tracking and contractor oversight. I am known for my clear communication, fast problem-solving skills, and my ability to balance owner interests with project team realities.

In my recent role as a Senior Project Manager and Owner’s Representative, I successfully managed multifamily projects exceeding $65 million for institutional developers and lenders. I have a proven track record of leading preconstruction coordination, overseeing general contractors, and identifying value engineering opportunities while ensuring alignment with budget and schedule goals. My experience includes managing significant projects such as Atlantica Daytona and Beacon Hill at Princeton, where I consistently delivered results that met or exceeded expectations.

As I prepare to relocate to Charlotte, NC, I am eager to bring my extensive experience and passion for construction management to new challenges. I thrive in environments that value collaboration and innovation, and I am committed to driving projects to successful completion while fostering strong relationships with all stakeholders involved.
