What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead and coordinate teams, manage procurement/budgets, and own warranty or submittal responsibilities—while keeping projects moving with clear communication, strong documentation, and continuous improvement.

I oversee end-to-end project responsibilities while supporting my Project Manager and leading a team of 4 personal assistants. I handle procurement log creation, bid breakdown analysis, budget control, and scope-of-work review—then delegate tasks based on my contract analysis.

Because of the trust I built over the years between the VP and the owners, I was given the biggest project in the company’s history: a 17-million-dollar build lasting over a year and a half. Even while trusted with that project, I kept managing 10+ projects at the same time.

I also moved into Warranty Manager / Submittal Specialist while still carrying my Assistant Project Manager responsibilities. I troubleshoot issues, order new parts, complete vendors’ warranty sheets, and attend service calls, while managing warranty for 50+ projects across both commercial and residential work.

Earlier, as a Project Administrator and Administrative Assistant / Personal Assistant, I built strong construction operations fundamentals—scheduling, inventory, labeling, dispatching materials, inspections, and CORs (created over 30). I bring the same drive into translation and AI voice recognition on Upwork, and I’m equally motivated by growth and clear documentation.
