SENIOR CAPITAL PROJECTS MANAGER, City of Philadelphia

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented transportation infrastructure project manager with nearly eight years of experience overseeing large-, medium-, and small-scale projects in complex urban environments. As a Senior Capital Projects Manager for the City of Philadelphia, I lead the Chinatown Stitch highway capping project, a multimillion-dollar initiative that integrates transportation planning, stakeholder coordination, and technical expertise to enhance mobility and accessibility.

With a strong foundation in project management, engineering coordination, and regulatory compliance, I actively bridge the gap between technical and public-facing aspects of transportation initiatives. I collaborate across agencies and disciplines to ensure projects stay on schedule, within budget, and meet high standards of efficiency. Colleagues and stakeholders recognize me for my problem-solving skills, leadership, and adaptability.

Driven by a passion for continuous learning, I seek opportunities to expand my knowledge, develop new skills, and refine my expertise. Whether through hands-on experience, training, or collaboration with diverse teams, I embrace challenges that push me to grow. I am committed to delivering impactful, innovative solutions that improve mobility and urban infrastructure, and I look forward to applying my expertise to projects that drive positive change in communities.

I received my Master’s in City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania in 2017 and have worked for the City of Philadelphia's Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, & Sustainability (OTIS) since May of that year.

WORK AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

As the course instructor for URBS 3300/5300: GIS Applications in Social Science at the University of Pennsylvania, I develop the course syllabus, assignments, and readings to provide a structured approach to GIS mapping and analysis for both graduate and undergraduate students. I also lead all class lectures and GIS lessons, grade all assignments, and engage with students during office hours.

I ensure that my course remains relevant up-to-date by regularly reviewing and updating assigned materials based on student feedback, emerging topics, and technological advancements. An important aspect of this work involves the Incorporation of critical geography lenses to raise awareness of power dynamics and inequities in map-making. I consistently receive exemplary course evaluations for instructor quality, subject matter communication, and student learning outcomes.
