One of the greatest things about New York City is the access.  Access to museums, symposiums, lecture series, cultures, and most exciting to me - architecture.  After earning my graduate degree in Architecture from Pratt Institute in 2009, I have stayed involved in the world of architecture.  New York City allowed me to stay in tune with the field through fellowships, freelance work, friendships, exhibits, and collaborative projects.  While the search continues for an architecture job in the field that I’m commited wholeheartedly to, I’m thrilled to live in a place where I can remain a part of the conversation in a number of capacities.  

Outside of my architecture experience, I have spent the last few years cultivating a background in everything from customer service to project management.  I am an excellent time manager, extremely organized, tactful, passionate, and I love working with people.  I work extremely well in a collaborative environment, and bring a sense of professionalism, passion, and humor to everything I do.  I am looking to find a firm I can invest in and focus my energy towards creating and learning.  These qualities along with my architecture experience put me in a unique position to contribute in an exceptional capacity.

I have three years of experience designing and maintaining projects in a large scale, fast paced, architecture office and I work hard to bring a lot to the teams I am a part of.  I believe that in order to be a successful architect you need to to be in control of many moving pieces.  The tasks are many, the deadlines vital, the environment engaging and the ability to bring all these elements together to produce a cohesive whole is a true challenge.  I love a challenge.  I think I would bring a diversified background to a team.  It takes the entire team to create incredible work, and I would love hear more about  the work that you are doing.
