Born and raised in the California Bay Area, my roots here run five generations deep. My interest in history and math eventually led me to my passion for architecture.I am currently seeking a job where I can build upon the skills necessary to become a licensed architect as well as be able to contribute to the benefit of a firm via design, drafting, and coffee making skills.
Prior to obtaining my MArch, I worked for L. Kershner Design in Santa Cruz, an interior architecture firm where I wore many different hats as the materials library organizer, designer/drafter, site measuring assistant, permit processor, and office assistant. While at the firm, I worked on two commercial facade renovations as well as residential projects, from simple room layouts to whole house remodels. Immediately after, I worked for William Kempf, an architect in Santa Cruz, where I had a great opportunity to work on several new commercial projects in drafting and administrative capacities.
My broad range of experience has well prepared me for an office environment where there is collaboration and a variety of tasks to be accomplished. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
