Work Experience:

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Project Manager and Marine Veteran leveraging over 4 years as a proven leader and manager able to multi-task missions, projects, and programs. I possess a comprehensive background in operations management, employee development, program analysis, logistics, process improvement, resource management, quality assurance, problem-solving, and cross-functional leadership derived from conducting domestic and global operations. Proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, Project, Outlook, SharePoint, Bluebeam, SAP, and Procore.

I am highly interested in a Project or Field Engineer position. I have 1-year experience in construction management and 5 years project management experience in the Marine Corps. With this experience, I am confident I am an ideal candidate for the role.

In my recent role as a Construction Associate Project Manager with CBRE Group, Inc., I worked directly with senior project managers to oversee project execution, including submittals, RFIs, PCO’s, costs, and schedules. This experience has strengthened my ability to manage the day-to-day requirements of complex projects and reinforced my expertise in quality control and subcontractor coordination. I also have experience in the United States Marine Corps as an Aviation Project Manager that allowed me to develop skills in cross-functional leadership, operations management, and stringent adherence to safety standards.

I look forward to the opportunity to learn and apply my skillset.
