About
My motivation in pursuing a Masters in Construction Management comes from seeing construction first hand, and the ways in which the system can be improved to (1) reduce waste (2) enhance preservation and sustainable building and (3) increasing customer satisfaction. I love building and planning, and find shaping the environment to be fun and rewording work. Having run my own horse business, I have a fond place for agriculture as well!
