After finishing nursing school, I felt the pull toward something entirely different – the construction industry. I obtained my degree in Project Management from Colorado State University and have gained 7 years of estimating and project management experience in the civil, structural, and architectural trades. I value my education and experience and am driven by the need to continually learn and diversify my skill-set, which is why I am thrilled to join the CenterLine team as a Fabrication Estimator. However, I believe a balanced life is the best life and enjoy things such as raising my two wonderful sons, golfing with my husband, traveling, and calling the Hogs!
