My name is Santiago Arizcun and I am currently in my final year of the architecture program at the University ORT in Uruguay. With a blend of 3 years of experience working both in US-based companies and local firms, I have contributed to over 20 collaborative projects and competitions. In my last year, I had the privilege of working at the Latin American headquarters of Humphreys & Partners, where I directly engaged with American clients and partners, enhancing both my English communication skills and my cultural and professional rapport with the country and its people.
I hold an advanced English certificate from the University of Cambridge, validating my language proficiency and commitment. Ranking first in my generation of architects, I'm poised for 'summa cum laude' honors this year. I'm deeply passionate about teamwork and architectural exploration, qualities that have consistently propelled me to lead almost every team I have been a part of, whether in international competitions or corporate environments.
