“Nessa’s extensive transportation experience, along with her knowledge and familiarity with the SBCTA, will considerably enhance our team’s capabilities and be a valuable asset as we continue to provide project and construction management for the I-10 Express Lanes project,” said Khalil Saba, Inland Empire office leader. “We are pleased to welcome such a talented professional to our growing team in the Inland Empire.”
With professional experience in transportation project and contract management, program management and operations, Williams was most recently responsible for managing consulting firms working with SBCTA’s transit and rail capital projects, and facilitating projects related to local transportation improvement studies.
Williams earned a master of public administration and a bachelor of arts in public administration from California Baptist University. She is continuing her studies at University of California, Riverside, in organizational leadership and development.
