About

I’m a Virginia Tech graduate currently working as a Field Engineer for Hensel Phelps on the Maryland Purple Line Stations. I’ve always found a great interest in construction as well as the communities that are built upon its foundation. I am thrilled to be starting my construction career on such an impactful project for the DMV community.
