Property operations & development
Newport on the Levee
North American Properties · 2014–2024
My commercial property career began at Newport on the Levee in 2014. Over the next decade at North American Properties, my responsibilities grew from property operations into tenant coordination and development.
Working with tenants, vendors, contractors, and internal teams gave me a view of a property that extended well beyond its public face.

For Jostin
Construction.
I know the questions
behind a project.
My development experience helps me understand scope, budgets, and coordination. My marketing work helps me explain them. Here is how I would put that combination to work at Jostin.

How I work
Give the details a place.
A project brief, a service scope, or a website needs a structure that makes information easy to find and use.
Take it through production.
Work through the copy, the visuals, and the revisions until the material is ready for the people who need it.
