Summary

I'm a Project & Operations Manager with seven years' experience steering hospitality focused construction and facilities projects from kickoff through turnover. I thrive on spotting risks early, negotiating contracts that keep budgets honest, and jumping in with practical fixes whenever plans hit a snag. I build strong bridges between design, procurement and field teams to deliver on time, on budget and with minimized complications. Always striving to keep clients happy and specs tight.
