I am deeply passionate about creating more space for women in construction. I aim to empower the next generation of female leaders by providing access to training, mentorship, and opportunities for advancement. 

Construction is an opportunity to make a lasting difference. We build projects that not only enhance the physical infrastructure but also have a positive impact on our communities and on the world. I love being part of an industry that allows me to actively contribute to the built environment, and to society as a whole.

The toughest part of my career was opening the Portland office while my family was growing. I was balancing giving my all to our new office while figuring out how to be a new parent/mom.

Our industry is in unprecedented times. For preconstruction specifically, I think the global unrest and unpredictable markets have impacted predicting escalations. We’ve put a big effort into our Truebeck Construction Index to help aid with this ever-changing market but it’s still no crystal ball. We need to stay nimble and solution-driven, coming up with creative solutions to any new challenges.

Balance keeps me energized and I recharge by spending quality time with others. There’s nothing I look forward to more than a slow Saturday morning at home with my three kids and husband followed by a big run or hike outside.

I love lists! It’s how I stay on top of everything. Each evening, I make a list and prioritize which 20% will make the most impact and start the next day with those tasks.  

Portland is home. I was born and raised here, and it is extremely fulfilling to be back, contributing to my community and growing the Truebeck office. I have so much pride in the people here, and the work we’re doing.
