ATLANTA – Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announces Melissa Cushma has rejoined the firm as Senior Project Manager and Carlie Phillips has been promoted to Project Coordinator on the Project Services team in Atlanta.
With over a decade of experience guiding the delivery of large-scale real estate projects, Cushma will develop, implement and oversee all facets of project management for clients across the Southeast, including planning, design, construction, occupancy and closeout. Phillips will support project teams by refining processes and streamlining efficiencies to ensure high-quality standards and exceptional client service.
