Background:
With 25 years in construction and 5 years prior to that in architectural design, Michelle serves as a Sr. Project Manager for Johnson & Jennings who is able to interpret, understand, and preserve the design intent while maintaining key aspects of the project for the owner, such as budget and schedule.
Michelle spent the majority of her career in the San Francisco Bay Area, managing tenant improvements, exterior improvements, and fast track projects of all sizes, as well as large long-term ground up projects in the commercial office and education sectors.
Because of this experience, she is able to adapt quickly to the needs of any project and set it up quickly for success. Michelle specializes in Project Operations, such as city permit management, project start-up, baseline schedule management, budget management, architect and owner communication, and project closeout.
She is also well versed in LEED/Green Globe and environmental design and always seeks out opportunities to work with the local community to help improve its infrastructure and its resources through new construction.
