In addition, both of these projects involved planning and ‘build out` for unique work group needs, such as load planning, communications and ramp services.”

Osterman holds a bachelor`s degree from Texas A&M University in recreation and parks. In addition, she holds a real estate sales license and a certificate in Airport Law and Lease Negotiations.
