Project Manager III @ Tetra Tech

About

My professional experience spans project and construction management, quality assurance, and change management within the power industry, where I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the successful delivery of transmission lines, substations, and network integration automation (NIA) systems. My education at Ohio University, combined with hands-on industry experience, has shaped me into a results-driven professional who leverages innovation and critical thinking to solve complex problems and drive project success. I truly enjoy working in the transmission and distribution industry, where I've had the opportunity to lead and support projects for clients such as Ameren, Duke Energy, and Wabash Valley Power Alliance, and others. These experiences have not only fueled my professional growth but also strengthened my ability to manage complex solutions and deliver successful outcomes for every client I serve.
