About 

I am a graduate from the Architecture program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and am currently seeking employment with a design oriented firm. 

Throughout my architecture education I have always admired firms whose work expresses clean modern design with attention to detail as well as leaving a sense of belonging to the community.  During my education at Cal Poly I had the opportunity to learn at the Washington Alexandria Architecture Center where I learned about urban design and gained a greater understanding of the workings of city life and planning.  Through this experience I came to love the integration of the personal experience that can be developed between the building and the surrounding context.

My background at Cal Poly as well as being reliable, detail-oriented and hard working has prepared me as a strong and motivated worker. I also have the ability to work independently or in groups which allows me to get my work done professionally, effectively and efficiently.  During my studies, I have worked as the event coordinator for a competition in which we were highly praised for our efforts to raise awareness for our department and our school.
