What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cross-functional design, construction, or project delivery work where I can improve processes, manage budgets and timelines, coordinate vendors and stakeholders, and deliver high-quality outcomes.

I've led residential, commercial, and institutional design and construction projects for Studio OGA, Wayfair, Pima County, Mister Car Wash, and Copenhagen Imports. Across more than 10 years, I've managed scope, schedules, budgets, vendors, and stakeholders from project initiation through final delivery.

At Mister Car Wash, I managed 50+ concurrent projects while tracking budgets, schedules, and risks, improving operational workflows, and producing detailed status reports for leadership.

I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and I bring a project-focused design background to documentation, cost estimates, contract negotiation, KPI tracking, vendor performance, and cross-functional coordination.
