About

As a Director and Senior Project Manager at Criterion, I have over 20 years of experience in architecture and planning, with a focus on healthcare design and construction. My mission is to create innovative and efficient environments that enhance client satisfaction and patient outcomes. I manage client relationships and planning teams and assist in corporate business development, management development, and strategic planning activities. I partner with leading healthcare architecture firms, such as Taylor, HED, Cuningham, HGA, SmithGroup, Boulder Associates, DGA, HDR, Devenney, Ratcliff, and Cannon. I provide consulting for construction projects at healthcare systems, such as Stanford, Dignity, Sutter, USC, and Children's Hospitals in LA and SF. I leverage my Autodesk BIM 360, Architecture, and Project Planning skills to deliver high-quality and cost-effective solutions for our clients. I also coordinate site visits and facilitate communication between stakeholders.
