Team

Darla joined Hood Construction in early 2007, bringing with her 13 years experience in human resources and customer relations. A graduate of the University of South Carolina’s College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management, she is originally from Surfside Beach but has lived in Columbia since her time in college and is proud to call South Carolina her home. Darla served as the 2016-2017 President of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Columbia Chapter, and has previously served on the board as Chapter Parliamentarian. This experience has garnered numerous relationships with women in construction across the country. Her strengths include developing long-term relationships with subcontractors and vendors, with special emphasis on inclusiveness of all SWMBE providers — working diligently to maintain and grow a diverse vendor/provider network of quality firms.

Darla loves spoiling her Boston Terrier Rosie, singing karaoke with her great-nieces and nephews, creating music playlists for parties and holidays, entertaining friends and family, and heading to the beach with her husband Carl.
