About 

I have graduated from Woodbury University with a Bachelor Degree in Architecture and received an honored ‘Dean Award’ for one of the top five thesis projects. Upon completion of my undergraduate degree, my professional experience has been interwoven with opportunities to work at several local architectural firms. I had experienced through multi-scale-level projects such as commercial and hospitality projects, interactive public art sculpture of various scales, budgets, time constraints, and environments. My experience working in the professional realm has had a profound effect on my development as a skilled designer.

My excellent skill of time managing to deadline fulfillment is unquestionable, which is reflected in my ability to work on multi projects at the previous firms. My ability to communicate effectively with other team members, to multi-task, and to maintain high self-motivation is essential to help me become a better designer. Given my knowledge, creativity, detailed oriented personality, problem solving skills, and positive attitude, I believe I have the qualifications and enthusiasm that you are looking for.
