About 

I am an Miami native seeking employment in an architecture firm. I am detail oriented and have enjoyed art and drawing my entire life. I have a background in architectural engineering but am now passionate about architecture, and hope to one day complete the requirements to being licensed. I am interested in sustainable design, and have completed my  LEED Green Associate certification. In my last job I was described as hardworking and a team player; able to learn new skills in a short amount of time for supervisors in need.
