At Amazon, I direct pre-construction planning for new delivery stations, managing scope, budgets, schedules, permitting, technical deliverables, and site plans to support operational, safety, sustainability, and lease requirements.

I've also led architectural projects at Niptuck Remodel, supported building design and administration at Tabor/Bruce Architecture, and helped shape city planning and the 2023 Master Plan for the City of Bonney Lake. I bring experience in architectural design, construction detailing, zoning and building codes, rendering, project management, and sustainable residential, commercial, and urban work.
