About 

Was a previous Associate Drafter for R.C.G.A Architects as a contract drafter with my current firm. I hope to expand my knowledge moving into more complex projects, with more a commercial sense as I perfect my design skills through professional diligence, and software competency. My goal is to become a Licensed Architect, working within a mid-size to large firm or starting a firm specializing in Urban Design, Commercial and/or Residential design, with some work on Landscape design. Currently learning and teaching myself to become a better designer while updating my skills through new software usage. Looking to apply for my Masters and continue into the field of Architecture as a professional, hopefully developing and starting my own firm or becoming a partner at an established firm with great employees and an excellent office culture.
