About 

As a project manager with my previous firm, significant responsibilities were delegated. Development of the plans, sections, elevations and details were typical with every project.  I was also expected to build relationships with clients through communication and organization. It was also important to inform and coordinate the consultants as well as writing and reviewing contracts for billable  work. The experience and exposure I gained was very beneficial to the development of my professional career. Currently I am  very interested in broadening my scope of work and knowledge.   
I am a self motivated professional with an aspiration of becoming a registered architect. Expecting to relocate in order to acquire employment, I am hopefully that such an opportunity presents itself. I am currently preparing for the architectural registration examination process while searching for new career opportunities, where ever they may be.
