What accomplishment or project so far in your career are you most proud of?

When you break it down, it is essentially four distinct projects of the exact same high complexity, all launching simultaneously. Successfully balancing the demands of these concurrent projects has been a major milestone in my career and has allowed me to showcase my growth and capabilities as an assistant project manager.

Who has been a mentor or influential figure in your career, and what is the most valuable advice they have shared with you?

Josh Seiden, our CEO, has been an invaluable mentor to me at LMJ. The best advice he has given me is “don’t be afraid to ask the question.” In the construction industry, clarity and precision are everything. Embracing this proactive mindset has fueled my professional curiosity, allowed me to gain a deep understanding of our operations, and has enabled me to master complex concepts quickly, collaborate effectively with our project teams, and continuously accelerate my growth.
