Message

At Create Architecture, Planning & Design, PLLC, I supported business development by identifying leads, preparing proposals, and coordinating marketing activities. I also negotiated contract pricing and terms, aligning project scope with client needs and financial considerations.

I managed accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, reconciliations, and consultant billing, and used Deltek Ajera to set up projects and track estimates and records. Earlier, I contributed to property management at Superior Homes Property Management, where I strengthened collection activities and helped increase rent collections by 50%.
