I have a unique background prior to studying Architecture with degrees in Mechanical Engineering design along with experience in consulting, software development, and project management. This gives me a unique design perspective and the professional maturity to be productive quickly in a new work environment.
I am a detail-oriented self-motivated professional with excellent client-facing experience.
