About

I am a Doctorate student in Project management at Capella University, Minneapolis, MN. My research (Capstone project) focuses on reducing project failures due to poor communication in the commercial building construction using a strategic communication model (SCM) - a simple model that tests project stakeholders' skills on effective communication strategies. It offers suggestions for training if communication does not meet the required standard. Upon graduation, I intend to practice and leverage the advanced degree skills with my experience in managing special projects.
