Hello! My name is Grace Koh, and I teach Construction Management at Western Carolina University. I graduated with my Master of Construction Management Degree at WCU, and our graduate program was such a positive experience (and so transformative for me) that I was thrilled to return to teach there. I’m currently in the process of obtaining my Doctor of Education through WCU’s EdD program in Educational Leadership, with my anticipated graduation in May 2028.

Beyond construction, I have 25 years of experience in marketing, business operations and logistics, finance, graphic/web design, and print production.

I have an extremely unique background, and I'm not your typical construction professional. I started dabbling in construction about 12 years ago. I fell in love with the process through renovating an old auto body shop into commercial offices...my passion soared from there. I've been working in the industry professionally for nearly 8 years. Prior to academia, I was a Project Manager for a small General Contracting firm in Asheville overseeing residential, commercial, and industrial renovations and builds.
