“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of attending several events where Doreen has been a panelist or keynote speaker, and each time, I am thoroughly impressed by her genuine and engaging presence. Doreen’s ability to connect with her audience stems from her extensive career journey, which spans from early, entry-level positions to leading billion-dollar programs. This wealth of experience enables her to share tangible and relatable examples that resonate deeply with anyone in the industry.

Her insights are particularly valuable given her significant background as a woman in the Construction industry. Doreen’s approachable personality and energized outlook not only captivate her audience but also inspire them to envision a bright future for themselves within the fields of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction. Her talks are not just informative but also motivating, leaving attendees with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement for their careers. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, Doreen’s presentations are a compelling reminder of what’s possible with dedication and passion.”

“As a nationally known leader in construction management – with extremely technical, complex mega-project experience – she was my first choice to teach Advanced Project Control in the Built Environment in the Construction Engineering and Management program at Stevens Institute of Technology. During that time, she was an integral part of the faculty in the program, helping to hone the program’s Strategic Plan, as well as its Program Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes.

“Doreen is a visionary leader who sees the potential in people and the industry, and her stories are inspirational. Doreen came as a guest speaker in my leadership course, and the feedback at the end of the course was: ‘My favorite part of the course was learning with Doreen.'”

“Doreen offers both empathy and strategy with her leadership style. She is seemingly in a constant state of SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) of herself and, most especially, for the organization with which she is engaged. She can recognize where individuals are most likely to perform their best and where their best will most benefit the team overall. Doreen is masterful at creating balance, yet with an edge to make things happen.”
