About

The way things work has always captured my imagination. Throughout my journey, I've been fortunate to work across a range of roles in construction and manufacturing, where I’ve naturally gravitated toward observing patterns, solving problems, and improving systems. Over time, this curiosity has shaped my approach: track trends, gather data, study the process, and build the roles, tools, and systems needed to create effective ways to deliver on goals. Now, I enjoy the privilege of working alongside the National Accounts and Research teams at Acoufelt to enrich facility design and develop long-lasting partnerships. In my spare time, I partner with growing organizations through consulting engagements —executing projects involving organizational growth, construction, and manufacturing. The intersection of construction, manufacturing, and business processes continues to fascinate me and the opportunity for efficiency by harnessing all three together is what I aim to bring to the table.
