Q&A with Nancy
What is your favorite project you’ve been a part of and why?
The most rewarding project I have been a part of is the Cortland at The Battery. This project was the largest and most complex project for our company at the time, however Cortland at The Battery transformed the neighborhood where it’s located into a live, work, play community at Truist Park. The opportunities are endless at Truist Park and we helped to create this.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone looking to enter the construction industry, what would it be?
You’ve selected an extremely rewarding industry to have a career in. While challenging, fast-paced, and ever evolving, the AEC industry provides a multitude of opportunities for professional and personal growth.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
I would be at our home in St. George Island, fishing and relaxing on the beach.
