I have had a varied career.  I started as a special events planner for NYCDOT before becoming a traffic engineer and transportation planner.  I worked for consulting engineering firms and construction managers.  I delivered projects for gas utilities, transportation agencies, member associations, and provided services that I never could have imagined when I began my career.  I wrote proposals, made presentations to clients, created programs, and responded to emergencies.  Along the way I became certified as a coach, earned my MBA, and was awarded my PMP.
