Marketing in the A/E/C industry has been part of my life for over 20 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. The consulting world can be very challenging but the rewards make it worth it. The blood, sweat and tears us marketing professionals and project staff put in to winning jobs make us better professionals. I have met so many amazing people in this industry and continue to learn and grow from my experiences.Alicia has over 20 years of marketing experience in the A/E/C industry.
