In my role as the Project Manager, I get to influence and/or be a part of every aspect of the project from funding to planning to environmental review to design to construction to public engagement, and ensure that all the project pieces continue to fit and jive together to make a whole complete picture (project). BDFP is the largest and most expensive project to be undertaken by the SFPUC (and possibly the whole City). We are building brand new, much anticipated new infrastructure from the ground up that will be impactful for generations in the neighborhood and the City it resides in. This Project has inspired and driven me to BE a better person and leader in my work and personal life. To be an open, honest, compassionate and inspirational leader.

This project has cleaner and greener facility innovations that will positively impact the local community and surrounding environment for years to come. The team culture on site is one of camaraderie - MWH/Webcor is the most communicative and environmentally proactive contractor that I have ever worked with. The team is truly diverse and has more women on site which is awesome.

What I appreciate the most about working with the BDFP team is the strong sense of collaboration and support among colleagues.Everyone is willing to share their knowledge and help each other out, which fosters a positive work environment. The biggest impact of working on this project has been the opportunity to collaborate closely with various union companies and members of my union serving as a subcontractor to the Mech/Jv and the GC. This experience has provided me with valuable insights into the dynamics of team work and management. Being so closely involved in the project has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the processes and relationships within the industry, which has been personally enriching.

The biggest impact this project has had on me is when I received the call 2 years ago at a difficult time in my life. The BDFP team made sure I received support in every way possible. I feel seen, safe and comfortable in my job which gives me the strength to get up and want to come to work every day. I am thankful for the BDFP team!
