About
I’m Angel Garita, an Architectural Project Manager and Job Captain with 6.5 years of focused expertise in the K–12 education sector. I have successfully delivered projects—including new school facilities, complex renovations, and classroom additions—across the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento region.
The core of my value is disciplined project oversight and collaborative execution. I thrive on coordinating the diverse elements required to build successful educational spaces:
Early Phase Contribution: I actively contribute to the preliminary design phases by documenting existing site conditions and providing crucial early advice to clients on required accessibility upgrades for each project.
Design Translation: Converting the district's vision and programmatic needs into buildable, code-compliant designs.
Team Leadership: Managing multidisciplinary consultant teams and ensuring seamless collaboration with school districts and contractors.
My hands-on experience ensures project continuity and clear communication from start to finish. I’m proficient at participating in Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meetings and conducting regular site walks, meticulously documenting construction progress and relaying critical updates back to the project team.
This approach ensures strict adherence to budget and schedule, delivering safe, functional, and cost-effective learning environments for the community.

Project Highlight
In 2019, I also had the opportunity to contribute to the development of the El Dorado Transfer Station. This was a non-DSA project that gave me exposure to commercial and industrial design standards.
My role was as a Designer, where I worked directly under the Project Architect. They provided the high-level direction and design intent, and my primary responsibility was to execute those instructions, translating the design vision into fully buildable construction plans.
The final deliverable was the design package for a brand-new transfer station built from the ground up. Successfully completing this project provided the county with a critical piece of infrastructure designed for long-term operational efficiency!

Wheatland Union High School - AG Mechanics Shop
In summer 2022, I relocated to the Napa Valley in order to gain advanced mentorship from the principal architect. As part of my training, I managed the AG Mechanics Shop Modernization which involved transforming a decades-old shop into a safe, accessible welding facility, coordinating full infrastructure replacement. I executed this alongside the new construction of a science building which cemented my proficiency in Construction Administration and leading successful outcomes during OAC meetings.

In 2022, I collaborated as Job Captain on the ground-up construction of the new AG Science Building at Wheatland High School. I successfully managed the construction administration and project deliverables concurrently with the AG Mechanics Shop renovation, gaining hands-on expertise in the CA process and mastering coordination during intense OAC meetings. This project added a beautiful, brand-new learning environment to the campus.
