About 

Perhaps you are looking for a fresh young candidate to add to your team.  My name is Lissette Aragon and I am looking for an architectural position working with a licensed architect.  I am the type of individual who would add not only my digital skills but also my personality.  I am an optimistic, easy going, and confident person who thrives when working in groups.  As a social person,  I am the person who revitalizes the energy in a room and who longs to create a peaceful yet active work place.  Along with my passion to work with others, I have a strong personality that is honest and straight forward.
