Growing up in Columbia, I attended Midlands Technical College studying Architectural Engineering Technology with dreams of building my mother a house. After my mother’s passing three months before graduation, I found myself struggling with my passion of designing homes while also taking care of my family. My instructor and degree from Midlands Technical College helped me obtain a position in Design & Engineering at the University of South Carolina. As I worked in my new position, I realized I needed to learn the construction side of the business, not just my skills in drafting and design. It's amazing to look back over the years and see how my journey started and where I am now, Founder, President & CEO at LLE Construction Group, LLC. My passion to understand construction after the design led me on this journey. At LLE, I provide strategic direction for the company and establishes teaming relationships, which has been instrumental in our growth. I am passionate about our role in "Creating, Building, and Maintaining Spaces Where People Learn, Live, Work, and Play." I look forward to collaborations with other companies as we continue to grow. #TeamworkMakesTheDreamworkOur client base has consisted of K-12, Colleges and Universities, Charter Schools, and Commercial Real Estate Owners and Tenants.
