Involved in many aspects of the business, including development, construction, operations, systems, and strategy. I handled projects across senior housing, retail, and multifamily sectors. From managing the portfolio's multifamily capital expenditure projects to leading and executing global company initiatives, I was involved in managing, coordinating, or leading the way for collective success using responsive and agile project management techniques. Managed a multitude of multi-million-dollar procurement projects worth over $21MM, administrated over 140+ yearly Capital Projects for our operations team worth over $3.3M, and helped shape and create processes for various things like our onboarding progress and standards and guidelines for every department in the company.

Excelling at organization and collaboration, I had the opportunity to engage in multiple builds at Collins Woerman. My role escalated from general executive support to being soon assigned to dedicated project teams. I was a servant leader to the team, prioritizing critical path tasks from multiple project managers over a broad range of projects with shifting deadlines. I assisted with managing all project authorization-related documents, including financial reports, informational databases, permitting applications, expense reports and served as a centralized team hub for information. I scheduled and lead team meetings, organized and scheduled check ins on revolving action items for active construction projects with teams that ranged from 2 to 15, and ensured multiple managers were updated on new developments as priorities changed. I also kicked off new initiatives like Green Initiative to improve our ecological footprint and obtained my Certified Document Technician status from the Certified Specifications Institute.

Thrilled to support a non-profit through this position, I quickly rose from a part-time barista to the Assistant General Manager. I hired and trained operations and front-line staff of "Gourmet To Go" and full-service catering business, managed special teams in all departments and implementation of company policies and procedures, and helped design and implement catering procedures that successfully increased customer satisfaction and ultimately increased catering sales.
