She oversees and directs projects from conception to completion, scheduling deliverables, estimating costs, and ensuring compliance with building and safety regulations. She has an unwavering focus on hitting deadlines and budgets and is highly adaptable, finding creative solutions to complex problems while maintaining operational integrity.
