Profile:
As
a natural capstone to my 20 years of construction experience I would like to make an
impact on my chosen profession. Sustainable and energy efficient design are areas where my
skills and understanding meet the current need. I recently completed my Bachelor’s
Degree and obtained the LEED accreditation as well as followed a course of independent
study, networking and conferencing. I am currently pursuing my own construction consulting
venture where I will combine my proven project management skills with my green
construction knowledge to serve building owners and advance the cause of sustainable
design.
