About

Senior Construction Executive | Program Leadership | Strategic Relationships | People Development I am a strategic construction leader with more than 28 years of experience building trusted client relationships, leading complex capital programs exceeding $1 billion, and developing high-performing teams. As a Senior Project Manager in Balfour Beatty’s Large Project Division, I am passionate about building strong teams, fostering trust, and advancing women within the construction industry. I currently serve as the National Lead for Balfour Beatty’s Connecting Women Affinity Group, where I work to create opportunities for connection, growth, and leadership development. Throughout my career, I have successfully developed business opportunities through executive relationships, industry leadership, strategic networking, and collaborative project delivery. I believe organizations grow when people grow, and I am committed to investing in talent, strengthening client partnerships, and delivering long-term value. I believe the true measure of leadership is not the projects we complete, but the leaders we help develop along the way. My purpose is to build high-performing teams that deliver exceptional results while investing in the next generation of construction professionals and strengthening the communities we serve. I believe people deserve leaders who are honest, fair, and courageous enough to tell the truth—even when it's difficult. Leadership isn't measured solely by financial performance; it's measured by the people you develop, the culture you create, and the leaders who rise behind you. My responsibility is not only to deliver successful projects, but to build organizations that continue succeeding long after I'm gone.
