Hello, my name is Jenna Ciano,
I am a recent Master of Architecture graduate from the University of Miami seeking an Intern or Junior Architect position in the greater New York City area. After many opportunities to travel and study in cities around the world, I am open to relocating for the right opportunity.
Prior to studying architecture, I was a research scientist. This career provided critical thinking, problem solving, and detailed analysis skills that formed a solid foundation for the design process.
Through my education and internships, I gained experience using industry standard software and knowledge of Construction Documents. I also had numerous opportunities to work as part of a team, something I greatly enjoyed.
I am eager to expand my experience both by building upon my current skill set and by learning new techniques.
I look forward to hearing from you!
