Work History

Director of Facilities

  • Maintenance, Repairs and Sustainability Initiatives: I ensured that all facilities were properly maintained and all necessary repairs were executed in a prompt and effective manner. These repairs varied between landscaping, plumbing, structural repairs, alongside sustaining programs to reduce environmental impact such as energy efficiency measure, waste reduction and water conservation.
  • Safety, Compliance and Emergency Preparedness: I stayed educated on all local, state and federal regulations including health and safety standards, regularly conducting inspections and audits, to guarantee our facilities were in compliance.
  • Budget and Vendor Management: I successfully developed and managed budgets related to facilities operations, including maintenance, repairs, utilities, and capital improvements. When necessary, I coordinated with external contractors and vendors for services, but to cut additional costs, I predominately had myself and my team execute most jobs.
  • Space and Strategic Planning: Oversaw the allocation and use of space within the facilities, including office layouts, meeting rooms, and common areas to optimize efficiency and meet the organization’s needs. I participated in long-term planning for facility upgrades, expansions, and other changes to support the organization’s strategic goals.
