To give some background on myself, I graduated from the College of Architecture and Design at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2010. During this time, I was able to gain valuable architectural and construction management experience in the federal sector while working with the US General Services Administration as a Student Trainee Architect. While I interned at General Services Administration, I was able to work closely with clients, architects, building managers and contractors. I learned how to make important design and financial decisions that helped progress the specific project at hand. I also learned how to deal with clients and contractors and their last minute changes. Following graduation, I have worked as a consultant on several projects which incorporated my architectural design and planning experience.
I believe my architectural experience is further balanced with my proficiency in a multitude of design software packages and technologies, including AutoCAD and BIM, and in an array of graphic design applications and programming languages. I believe I am a very hard working individual and my qualities and skill set will benefit as well as compliment your values. I am hopeful to have an opportunity to make positive contributions and create a mutually beneficial relationship for the company, as well as my personal career. If you would like additional information or would like to discuss any of the above in person, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
As a recent graduate I have been looking for a permanent job with a company that will help me succeed in this amazing field. I have also been doing freelance design, consulting and construction, but where this freelancing is very satisfying it is very slow.
