Denise Colestock – Project Manager
LEED AP, dcolestock@rebuildglobal.org
Denise had her roots grounded in non-profit work after graduating from Winthrop University in South Carolina with a Political Science degree. After discovering her love of design and architecture through various trips abroad, she decided to get another degree doing just that- design and architecture for interiors from the Design Institute of San Diego. Now, she practices both passions by working with Rebuild Global and exploring commercial and residential interiors projects. Following her love for sustainability, Denise received her LEED A.P. status and has been actively involved in the San Diego Chapter of the United States Green Building Council. When not raising money and managing projects for Rebuild or working on design projects, you can find Denise hiking one of the many trails in San Diego with her dog Grace, playing at the beach with her loving husband Billy, or working on her continuously growing edible garden.
