25+ years of executive level experience leading private and public organizations in strategic planning, facilities master planning, asset management, capital planning, and real estate development Dear Hiring Manager(s),
Over the last 25+ years I have had the opportunity to create a uniquely new vision for the organizations I have worked for. I am qualified to plan and lead an organization in accordance with established programs, policies, and develop new and innovative strategies as needed. I have served as a strong leader and effective communicator with broad experience in public work and private industries. I pride myself as a strategic thinker, locally and globally. I truly thrive in an environment that embraces an entrepreneurial spirit and approach, while setting high expectations, providing a high level of customer service and responsiveness. I have executive level experience in strategic planning, facilities master planning, asset management, capital planning, and real estate development. In addition, I have specialized experience in classified programs, space planning and design.
I also have significant experience in directing staff, resource planning, tracking progress, leading meetings, managing large capital programs including scopes, budgets, schedules, trouble-shooting potential roadblocks, and delivering successful projects. I strive to develop positive relationships with clients, staff, professional services providers, stakeholders, community members, administrators, boards, students, and more.
In addition, I support life-long learning and have continued to expand on my education regularly. I am part of a global planning and real estate network at Harvard University. I presented my work on master planning and capital planning for large public and private real estate portfolios at Harvard Law School.
Below are highlights of my professional experience: I currently work for the Concourse Federal Group as the Program Manager for the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Healthcare System. My role includes managing a team of subject matter experts in healthcare planning, space planning, engineering, interior design, information technology, and real estate.

The Aerospace Corporation - (National Scope)
I served as the Enterprise Strategic Facilities Planner for The Aerospace Corporation. I developed the first ever Enterprise Facilities Master Plan in the company’s 60-year history. The plan consists of a 10-year capital improvement plan to modernize, maintain, grow/reduce owned and leased assets of over 2-million square feet. In addition to planning, I developed the capital improvement budget to support the strategic plan. My role also included analyzing real estate assets and developing programs for new leases. I spearheaded “The Future of Work” program with people operations, technology, and an executive leadership team for Aerospace to move staff to hybrid and remote work arrangements to upgrade and modernize existing facilities. The work involved collaborating with every division of the Aerospace Corporation which included over 6,000 Aerospace and Government Staff nationally.
