About 

I am a graduate of North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota with a Masters degree in Architecture.  I have held two internships; one at a firm in Fargo, Shulz & Associates and the other at Wold A&E located in St. Paul, MN.  After interning at Wold summer 2010 I moved to Australia on a work holiday visa and found work and traveled for 9 months.  Now I am home in Winnebago and back to the job hunt. 

I am profiecent in Revit, AutoCad, Sketchup, Photoshop, Indesign, and Microsoft Office.  I have used all of these programs while pursing a masters degree and at the professional level cranking out high quality projects.  Also, I am not afraid of picking up a pencil or building a physical model and have a lot of expierence with this.  I believe I have a passion for the high quaility design of our built environment and have a goal of translating this into a successful career.
