I first discovered architecture in high school, which then influenced my decision to pursue the profession in college on a partial architecture and partial track and field scholarship. While a student athlete I earned my first internship in the field of architecture at Disney World Orlando, Florida. Soon after, I earned my Bachelors in Architecture from Florida A&M University.
Since then I've had the opportunity to practice architecture throughout the states and even went abroad to contribute my services to for profit and non-profit architectural groups. I've learned something new and picked up engaging skills from each position.
Not all my experiences have been in architecture. Being a waitress, working at a University, and experiencing life, contribute to my growth. I've learned to work in unconventional ways, collaborate with personalities from all around the globe, delegate, micromanage, not micromanage, and dance at every annual party. There's a whole lot more between that, but that's what comes to mind, for now.
