I am builder—of teams, businesses, and transformative solutions. Starting with a simple idea of designing house plans on Facebook, I've grown into a versatile leader who has founded and managed a thriving construction startup. My career is a testament to resilience, creativity, and a passion for empowering others. Through the years, I've honed my ability to lead diverse teams, navigate complex projects, and deliver measurable results that exceed expectations. I thrive on solving problems, creating harmony out of chaos, and inspiring those around me to achieve extraordinary outcomes. With expertise across construction, content strategy, and project management, I bring a unique blend of vision, adaptability, and results-driven focus to any organization I join.
