I bring over 11 years of experience performing and managing human resource functions, including classification and compensation, benefit administration, recruitment and retention, performance management, and training & development. I have worked in a variety of work environments, including higher education and the public sector. My background includes most recently working with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as the Director of Academic Personnel, where I was responsible for the oversight and delivery of human resources services for approximately 3500 faculty employees. Prior to that, I worked with the Virginia Department of Transportation, Ikon Office Solutions, and Carol Wood Healthcare Facility.

I joined C2AE as an Electrical Engineer, with over 13 years of design experience. As a certified Lighting Consultant, I have designed and managed a variety of projects including power and lighting systems for commercial, light industrial, apartments and high-end residential buildings. I also have experience performing quality control review of electrical inspector documentation as well as evaluating buildings for energy efficiency, and the design and management of prototypes.

I joined C2AE as its Director of Southern Municipal Infrastructure team, bringing with me over 18 years of experience and progressive responsibility in consulting engineering, primarily in municipal engineering & construction projects, and client management. As Director, I will oversee more than 20 highly experienced staff members that focus on infrastructure design, site planning, and water & wastewater projects.  
 
My background also includes over 6 years of experience as a professional pilot and flight instructor.  I have nine years experience on the Northwest Regional Airport Commission, where I became familiar with airport operations, funding programs, grants and improvement programs, as well as airport layouts and functionality.

I join C2AE as a Business Development Manager, bringing with me a background and experience in healthcare philanthropy, association management, finance, and sales.   
 
Since my graduation from Mount Mercy College, I have held a variety of community relations, political, sales, and health care foundation positions throughout the Midwest. I moved to Michigan from Wyoming in 2008, when I took on the Development Director role for Sparrow Foundation where I managed major gift portfolios and fund raising efforts.
 
I have received several professional honors and awards throughout my career.  Last year I was named as one of the "10 Over the Next 10" award winners from the Lansing Chamber of Commerce.  Other awards and honors I have received in the past 10 years include "Top 40 under 40 in Wyoming Who Made a Difference"; "Outstanding Business Woman and Leadership Award"; "Entrepreneur of the Year Award"; "Outstanding Community Service Award"; and "Leadership Excellence Award".
 
I am an active volunteer for numerous non profit organizations in the Lansing community. I serve on the Board of Directors for several organizations including the Rotary Club of Lansing Foundation, the MSU Alumni Club of Mid-Michigan, and the YMCA. I am also a member of the Rotary Club of Lansing, and the Junior League of Lansing. I also currently serve as the Executive Director of the Wyoming Nurses Association in Gillette, WY, which I maintain via a virtual office environment.

Growing up in Mason, MI and with my future wife growing up in Brighton we wanted to live in mid-Michigan, so I began searching for jobs/internships in the mid-Michigan area.  I began my career at NTH Consultants, Ltd. (NTH) as a summer intern with the Brownfield Redevelopment Group in 2001.  NTH is a full-service engineering firm covering all aspects of geotechnical environmental and facilities engineering and as an intern I worked on Brownfield remediation projects, geotechnical projects and construction quality assurance projects.  After completing my master’s program in Indiana, I started full-time with Brownfield Redevelopment Group at NTH.  

Work life at NTH is never boring, which is why I enjoy working here.  NTH’s clients continually provide interesting projects to work on and problems to solve.  Some of the projects that I have worked on include: the Ottawa Street Power Station Redevelopment, Stadium District Redevelopment, Lugnuts Stadium Redevelopment, and the Detroit River International Crossing.
