I began my electrical career straight out of high school and quickly established myself in the field. Within two years, I was promoted to leadman due to my strong ability to read and interpret electrical prints, identify design issues, and implement practical solutions. Early in my career, I learned the importance of clear communication, strong teamwork, and taking initiative to keep projects moving efficiently.

By my fifth year, after earning my electrical license, I advanced to the role of foreman. In this position, I made it a priority to review electrical plans thoroughly and proactively cross-reference them with other MEP trades to catch design conflicts before they impacted the field. When issues arose, I didn’t wait for office intervention—I took initiative to write RFIs and submit change orders myself, helping streamline the resolution process and avoid delays. This hands-on approach built trust with my project managers, who rarely needed to visit the jobsite because they knew the work was in good hands.

Over the years, I’ve developed deep knowledge in NEC code compliance, ADA standards, Fair Housing requirements, UL listings, and fire-rated and shear wall construction. I’ve become highly skilled at identifying design inconsistencies across multiple trades and submitting well-documented RFIs and change orders—often not just for electrical, but for coordinating issues affecting plumbing, HVAC, or structure. When necessary, I don’t hesitate to contact manufacturers directly to ensure clarity and accuracy in installation or design intent.

I take pride in being a problem-solver who only asks for help after exhausting all other options. I’ve never left a project unfinished and have stayed loyal to every company I’ve worked for—only parting ways when companies were sold or ran out of work. This is the first time I’m actively pursuing a new opportunity, and it’s because I’ve reached the ceiling with my current company. I’m ready for the next step. With my field experience, leadership skills, and deep understanding of construction workflows, I’m confident that I’m fully prepared to take on an Assistant Project Manager role—I just need the chance to prove it.
