I am a young architect with various experiences in architecture and design. I earned a Bachelor’s of Architecture in 2009 from NJIT’s College of Architecture and Design. Subsequently I worked while studying at NJIT and graduated in 2011 with a Master’s of Science in Architecture with a focus on sustainability. While at NJIT I was nominated for the Dean’s award for my studio project design and exhibited architectural work at the NJIT Design Showcase.
As a student I had the opportunity to work at several organizations including Mercedes-Benz USA, Habitat for Humanity-Newark and B.S. Architecture & Design. During these experiences I have produced AutoCAD construction drawings, design proposals through sketch & photomontage, 3D models and animations. I have conducted research of precedents, site descriptions, census comparisons, and I have researched construction materials and companies.
More recently I worked as an Intern Architect at AXIS DIA where I collaborated with the design group in all aspects of the projects. The projects have been both local and international, and include various project types. Through my experience at AXIS I have increased my understanding of programs like Revit Architecture, which were used to prepare and organize design document packages.
I hope to grow a career while becoming an important asset of a company and continue to develop my skills and interests in Design, sustainability, and technology.
