Graduate Teaching Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University

About

As a Construction Manager-in-Training (CMIT) and Master of Science in Architecture-Engineering-Construction Management (MSAECM) candidate at Carnegie Mellon University, I am passionate about bridging design and construction through sustainable and data-driven project delivery. With a background in architecture and over four years of professional experience, I have led projects from concept to completion, managing design execution, stakeholder coordination, and on-site construction administration. My recent internship with Swinerton Builders further strengthened my expertise in procurement tracking, subcontractor coordination, and BIM-based documentation workflows. My academic focus includes advanced construction management, scheduling, cost estimation, safety and the integration of digital tools to enhance collaboration and performance. I am eager to apply these skills within design-build environments that value innovation, sustainability, and multidisciplinary teamwork. I’m driven to create impactful, efficient, and resilient built environments while continuing to learn and grow within the construction industry. Let’s connect to discuss sustainable project delivery, construction technology, and the future of integrated practice.
