About me

I am a Senior Consultant at Skotte Group applying my project management skills to large infrastructure projects and if you told me this would be my job when I graduated high school, I wouldn’t have believed you! When I was preparing to leave school, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do. However, I focused on the subjects that I enjoyed learning and would also give me a broad skillset to allow me to move across industries, and during my career to date I have worked in many interesting roles. Outside of work I volunteer on multiple committees where I can put my skills into practice and give back to the community. Through these committees I have developed confidence and networking skills which is important in my role.

In my role as a Senior Consultant at Skotte Group, I help clients to solve problems and make business decisions for infrastructure projects. I will work with clients and my team to understand what’s wrong, determine solutions that will suit the project’s unique requirements, and put those plans into action. I will also manage the project to make sure everything is done correctly which is key to making clients successful and building lasting business relationships.
