Project Manager
Shawmut Design and Construction
What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? I’m most proud of St. John’s University’s St. Vincent Health Sciences Center – a 70,000 s/f, three-story building that will serve as the new home for existing and future health sciences programs on the university’s Queens, NY, campus. I recently assumed the role of lead project manager, and when complete, this LEED Silver-certified building, will include patient simulation facilities, laboratories, classrooms, gathering spaces, offices, an outdoor terrace, geothermal heat pumps, and rooftop solar panels.
Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? I am inspired by individuals who not only overcome adversity but also build resilience and strength through it.
