I am a seasoned property manager with nine years of multi-site management and project management experience in the real estate sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for improving building operations, as well as for successfully managing a $10 million operating budget and a $10 million multi-project program, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to operational improvement and success throughout my career.

Professional focal points include property management, multi-site management, project management, operations improvement, budget planning, financial analysis, procurement, training, and compliance. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as leadership, critical thinking skills, time management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns.
