What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can manage permitting and project operations within a collaborative, compliance-focused team, supporting historic and custom building projects with clear processes and growth opportunities.

I am a Permitting & Project Operations Coordinator with a foundation in public institutions and a focus on construction, historic renovation, and fine woodworking projects.

Most of my career was spent supporting municipal departments, hospitals, and legal offices where structure, compliance, and accountability were non-negotiable, which taught me to manage deadlines, navigate regulations, and keep priorities on track.

At Barber & Sons Inc. I coordinate HDC and building permits, inspections, material orders, vendor coordination, and project documentation, maintaining permit logs and ensuring timely submissions and closeouts.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Public Policy and Social Services, an A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies, and MCPPO certification pending 2024; I work across departments to translate requirements between town departments, vendors, and project teams to keep operations compliant and moving.
