About Me
My father is a contractor who could build or fix just about anything, and I've always shared the same curiosity towards understanding how things work and how to make them work better. I've always found the construction process fascinating - but at the same time, I recognize how frustrating it can be for people outside this space trying to navigate it. With this in mind, I decided to become an owner’s representative with the goal of making the construction and remodeling process less stressful and more straightforward for homeowners. I believe that as an advocate for the homeowner, the experience can become more transparent, efficient, and hopefully, enjoyable.
Since 2012, I have worked in nearly all aspects of the construction and real estate development industry. I have worked in real estate law, representing real estate investors and developers. I then moved into the construction realm as a partner at a New York City–based construction management firm, focusing on operations and procurement for large residential projects.
In that time, I earned my MBA from New York University's (NYU) Stern School of Business, which further elevated my understanding of the business of construction.
Locally, I spent several years working with a renowned general contractor in various roles, both on the construction site as a project manager and in the back office with operational and support responsibilities.
My mix of legal, development, and construction experience shapes how I approach every project: with a focus on smart planning, clear communication, and a commitment to always advocating for the homeowner’s best interests.
Who may benefit from having an owner’s representative, in my opinion?
Someone looking for an outside expert’s opinion at any phase of construction.
Someone not sure how to even start their dream project, of any size or scope.
Someone who doesn’t have time.
Someone who just feels overwhelmed.
Clients can choose how involved they want me to be in any project, big or small, indoor or outdoor. That could be full project management from start to finish, or support just when they need to get out of a difficult situation. I would be happy to schedule an initial call to discuss how I can help with your project.
