As a graduate of UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis on Business Operations, I transitioned into the construction industry through an internship at Suffolk Construction. This hands-on experience solidified my passion for construction management and led to my current role as a Project Engineer in Suffolk Construction's Career Start program in the Miami Office. Currently focusing on estimating, I engage in the preconstruction process, including conceptual estimating, cost planning, and value engineering, utilizing software like Ediphi, BuildingConnected, Autodesk Takeoff, and On-Screen Takeoff. My goal is to support the development of reliable estimates and effective cost management strategies, contributing to successful project deliveries, particularly concentrating on current and future South Florida East Coast development ventures.
