Summary

I bring 16 years of experience in the construction industry, working as both an architect and a project manager. My portfolio spans education, commercial, and residential developments. I spent two years delivering the Early Learning Centre portfolio for Brown Falconer, where I gained valuable experience managing and reporting to a diverse range of clients and end-user groups.

I have in-depth knowledge of various contract types, including ABIC and AS, and I am well-versed in procurement methods such as design and construct, managing contractor, and lump sum contracts. Currently, I serve as the Deputy Convenor of the Architectural Practice Board of South Australia. This role has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the technical and contractual complexities involved in managing large social infrastructure projects.

I pride myself on my ability to manage pressure, juggle multiple responsibilities, and meet tight deadlines—skills I have consistently demonstrated throughout my diverse and extensive project experience.
