Summary

Professional, resilient and adaptable Construction Field Engineer with a strong foundation as an electrician, backed by six years of hands-on field experience. I bring a sharp ability to listen, learn quickly, and navigate complex situations with confidence and flexibility. Now on the path to becoming a Project Manager, I’ve expanded my skill set by working with tools like Gordian for building estimates, Procore for site supervision and daily reporting, and Microsoft Project, Excel, and Word to support the clerical and scheduling aspects of project management. My background allows me to bridge the gap between field execution and project coordination, with a focus on continuous improvement and leadership growth.
