As Senior Project Manager (B Arch) I have served as Project Leader on the planning and construction of High Security & Mission Critical projects throughout the National Capital Region. More recently I have managed several fit-up projects including the implementation of WP 2.0 (Workplace 2.0 Federal Government Standards). These new Standards promote Sustainable Design practices resulting in a LEED Silver Certification on the Elections Canada Office relocation.
Prior to joining Public Works I worked as Project Architect in the private sector for 10 years. From 1995-2000 I worked in Washington DC with Douglas Cardinal Architect on the design of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.($220mil) I was also lead designer on projects with Einhorn Yaffee Prescott (UCDC Campus, Goucher College, Fort Myers Residence historic preservation), and Shalom Baranes (National Airport expansion).
