What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?

I am particularly proud of the opportunities to contribute to our design-build projects. Working in design-build has allowed me to be involved from the earliest stages of a project, collaborating closely with owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors to develop budgets, evaluate constructability, identify risks, and establish effective project strategies. This journey has reinforced my passion for construction and continuous learning. Every project presents new challenges, opportunities, and lessons to learn, and I apply that knowledge to become a better construction professional.

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
At Timberline, I had the opportunity to lead the rollout of a new CRM system tailored to our project pursuit lifecycle. In project managing the effort, I worked collaboratively across departments and with the senior leadership team to shape the tool in a way that helps us better track leads and capture key information. It’s been great to see how it’s been adopted, improving communication and giving us smarter insights to support business growth. I’m excited to see how it continues to evolve.

What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
I believe that working closely with project managers, executives and field teams has shaped the way I approach my career. I’ve learned that strong communication and attention to detail are just as important as the skills needed to complete my piece of the puzzle. Every project and every team has something different to teach me, and I’ve found that being willing to ask questions, learn from others and take ownership has helped me grow throughout my career.

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
I’m most excited about shifting my perspective and learning the financial and operational side of construction after spending my early career out in the field. Coming from a construction background, I used to view buildings as physical structures – steel, concrete, mechanical systems. Now, I am learning how a building performs as an asset – managing budgets, client/tenant relations, and long-term value creation. Getting to connect the dots and further understanding the lifecycle of a property from the ground up is what I am most looking forward to.
