SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Throughout my career, I have been able to learn, grow and adapt to the
various positions and responsibilities required. I have been asked to
hold numerous positions at a single time in order to complete projects.
I have worked with computer software including AutoCad, Primavera
products and Microsoft products on a regular basis, depending on the
demands of each situation. I have participated in numerous presentations
to Owners and Government Officials while attempting to secure
Construction Management contracts. I work with Owners, Design
Professionals, Government Entities and field personnel on a regular
basis.
I take great pride in my accomplishments, attention to detail,
organizational skills, management of staff, along with my abilities to
complete projects on-time, within budget and without claims.
