I am a widely experienced architect with a master’s degree from Harvard. For the last year and a half I have been working on Terminal 1 at Newark Airport and the JFK master plan in Revit. In the past I have worked as a project architect and an assistant project manager at well known corporate architecture firms in New York City. In addition, I have a background in historic preservation, and I have worked on large scale transportation and civic projects.
I have many years of experience working in a team setting producing coordinated construction document sets for large scale projects. I have two degrees in architecture and I have been an Autocad user since 1997. I am also an Autodesk 3D Studio Max Certified Professional.
