Role: Project Manager
Delivery Method: Traditional Design Bid Build
Summary
These two municipal projects demonstrate my ability to manage complex coordination efforts and deliver successful outcomes under tight schedules and challenging conditions.
- Buckroe Streetscape Design:
A fast-tracked streetscape enhancement project from the Boardwalk to N. Mallory Street, completed from concept to construction documents in under 12 months. The design included:- 8′ sidewalks on both sides
- On-road bicycle facilities
- Pedestrian lighting
- Bus stops and bicycle parking
- Maximized on-street parking
Despite construction complications and a low-bid contractor, I navigated out-of-scope issues and maintained stakeholder confidence through proactive communication and problem-solving.

Involved extending Commerce Drive and enhancing streetscape for adjacent roadways near the I-64 interchange. This project required:- Intensive right-of-way coordination
