Roula started her construction industry career in 2005 as an
Administrative Assistant for a civil contractor. Her passion for
growth and knowledge have contributed to her success in the industry.
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Roula moved with her family to Montreal,
Canada before becoming a United States citizen. She has a deep-rooted
appreciation and awareness for opportunity, diversity, and development.
As Director of Business Development, Roula easily forges
relationships with anyone she encounters. With her arsenal of contacts
from years of working as a Project Coordinator and Assistant Project
Manager at other firms, she is dedicated to a collaborative work
process that drives growth and engagement. She strives to see her
clients' visions come to fruition and assists the project team from
conception through final walk through.
Roula has experience with Health & Wellness, Corporate, Retail,
Hospitality, Higher Education, Military, and Multifamily. She is an
active member of the Greater Richmond Association of Commercial Real
Estate (GRACRE), the National Association of Women in Construction
(NAWIC), and active in the local chapter of the Urban Land Institute
(ULI). She volunteers with Habitat for Humanity - Richmond, HandUp
Community Resource Center, The Central Virginia Food Bank, and Project:Homes.
Outside of work, Roula is usually planning or executing a DIY project
with her children, working out at her local gym, or trying out a new
recipe - and hoping the family loves it!
