Clarity of Direction + Open Communication + Strategic Thinking + Learning = The Future As a skilled leader with 16+ years in strategic interior workplace design, functional space programming, space standard development & implementation, remote & home office management, real estate asset management planning & disposal, and ergonomic policy and accommodation, OHS and emergency management. The projects often require policy and process changes to ensure success. Service excellence is a primary driver in my work, which I combine with effective communication processes. A proven track record for managing on time/ on budget TI of FF&E +$20 million dollars within +$ 100 million LEED silver office tower refurbishment, for example, Petroleum Plaza North for Energy in Edmonton, Alberta. *Human Wealth I am committed to the development of physical and cognitive solutions to complex physical and emotional work environments, including union environments, by providing in depth needs assessments, business cases and project funding requests inclusive of both organizational and individual requirements. The workplace is intended support and service those who use it. *Relationships & Communication - a team focus earned by negotiating complex relationships in a large organization, using a team's skills and experience to complete challenging projects with a clear direction and possibilities for professional growth. I specialize in solving complex problems and developing data based decisions and ideas to solve them. I am able to change direction or work on multiple urgent priorities without significant oversight or direction. *OHS and Emergency Management and Business Continuity Supported provincial emergency responses through quick and efficient communication for immediate alternate workspace, real estate, and remote work set ups through disasters, including the Slave Lake Fire, Fort McMurray Fire, and the High River/ Calgary Floods. Developed and managed internal business continuity processes. *Project Management Interior Design and Architectural Design provides a strong background for the making of functional office space and remote work environments. Additionally, planning, project financials, contract management, lease management, procurement and related trade practices, vendor performance initiatives, environmental scans, best practice and policy development, IT product development and mapping, have all been a part of my career. Travel, irregular hours and remote work are not an impediment. Food, Travel and the Outdoors are personal passions that fuel me.
