What recent professional milestone or project are you most proud of, and why? The project I am most proud of has yet to break ground but holds immense significance. The Elizabeth Seton Children’s Young Adult Center in White Plains, NY, is a pioneering specialized care facility for young adults with complex medical needs. Over the past two years, I worked with Pat Tursi (CEO), her exceptional organization, and the dedicated staff during preconstruction. This center will be an international model and research hub, focusing on patient-centered design to establish new standards in medical support. This project is a professional milestone and a deeply meaningful experience.

What is your top advice for someone just starting out in your field? Stay in the field and avoid isolating yourself in the trailer. Hands-on experience is invaluable as well. I began as an assistant project manager but serving as an assistant superintendent on my first few projects significantly shaped my development as a project manager. Walking the job site offers firsthand exposure to challenges, best practices, and decision-making processes. Build strong relationships with superintendents, foremen, and tradespeople. They possess an extraordinary depth of knowledge. Fostering these connections will make you a more effective, well-rounded leader.
