What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months?
I think my greatest professional achievement during this past year has been to maintain personal connections with co-workers and professional colleagues while working remotely, and while also effectively managing the increased workloads that are being experienced throughout the design and construction industry.
Who within your own firm has helped you succeed within the construction industry?
I’m very fortunate to currently work under the direction of Michelle Galindez, Syska’s director of marketing & communications. Michelle and I have collaborated with each other through SMPS and other networking organizations in the industry for close to 10 years. She continues to help me succeed in the construction industry by fully advocating for her team and creating a positive environment in which each of us can shine.
