At Gensler I have been able to use all my talents in the design and construction of several exciting projects in L.A.'s Retail Studio. As a team leader, I managed the implementation JCPenney home department remodel within the Southwest region and the LYFE Kitchen roll-out nationally. As a studio technical leader, I was the BIM captain and technical designer for LA's flagship retail on Fifth Avenue in New York, Sydney, and Shanghai for confidential retail clients, in addition to managing and developing Revit prototypes for roll-out projects. My experience as a job captain has included developing and coordinating contract documents as well as performing construction administration. I have also provided support as a technical designer for projects including the 7th/Fig shopping center renovation, in Downtown Los Angeles, in addition to working with clients including Sports Chalet, Riot Games, Max Brenner, Zara, Microsoft, Starbucks and Topshop.

The joy I receive in tenant improvement work, comes from learning about the complexities and creative engineering that is part of inserting new architecture into existing buildings, which is a great interest of mine, and as time goes by plays a greater role in the evolution and layering of our cities.

In my free time, I enjoy sketching, running, cycling, hiking, and cooking prize winning food.*
