One of her proudest projects is the Calexico West Land Port of Entry Phase 2A, a $184 million, five-year construc­tion program on the US-Mexico border, where she led the on-site construc­tion management team as a senior project manager. Her oversight of major projects also includes the Yuma Regional Medical Center Expansion in Arizona. As the senior manager for this project, Wilkinson supervised the design and construc­tion management of $200 million capital improve­ments over four years, which included a new emergency department, cancer center, and parking garage for the medical center. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Nicolle to our team! Her wealth of experience and enthusiasm will be instru­men­tal in driving facilities growth in the Western United States,” says Clarice Sollog, CDM Smith principal and architect. “Nicolle's commitment to excellence in services will bring immense value to our clients and elevate our archi­tec­tural team to new heights.”   

Wilkinson has her bachelor’s in archi­tec­ture from the University of Kentucky, is a registered architect in the state of Arizona, and is a certified construc­tion manager. She is also an active member in the San Diego Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construc­tion (NAWIC).
