My construction background started from my upbringing. My father was a framer and really an everything fixer. I remember spending the summers on his job sites (no idea where OSHA was) carrying lumber and running through the mud. I learned a lot more during those summers than just about getting dirty. I learned that hard work is what it takes, and you're only ever going to be as good as the work, workforce, effort and dedication you put into anything. In senior level positions for several construction companies, I have a vast range of knowledge in luxury residential and in commercial construction. I was able to build my relationships throughout the industry. I developed and continue to build relationships with clients, peers and other industry professionals. I focus on applying creative thinking across the communications and branding spectrum amongst a team of likeminded individuals and being client focused to keep our operations continuously running. Overseeing all aspects of the business to ensure projects and clients continue to have the best possible outcome on finishing their projects on time and within budget is my day-to-day drive. No detail goes unseen or unturned. Creating something that will stand for years and decades to come is our mission. The saying "they don't build it like they use to" is not in our book! Prior to taking the full time jump into the construction industry, I had my business in the luxury special event market. This experience helped forge my work ethic, mindset and drive to succeed. I was able to develop a loyal following, leading businesses in the wedding and events industry for corporations and a discerning list of wedding and social clientele. For several years my enthusiasms directed me to work with a residential GC. I over saw and managed large renovations and designing of luxury homes on the east coast. Catering to every detail and every finish to create a lifestyle home and not just a house is a passion of mine. I love that I now get to do this with commercial spaces for the public to appreciate and enjoy. My driving force to my professional career and reason to succeed is not just for myself. I am a mother of 2 amazing children. I credit them so much for my outlook on life, and fight to be a strong role model and dedicated mother to them. I aim to always be learning from my experiences. It's important for me to reflect on what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how I can be a better person and professional.
