About 

I am  a highly creative, organized, and efficient individual with attention to detail, great with architectural graphic representation, and teamwork.  With experience in the glass, metal and other building envelope systems as an Technical Coordinator,  Assistant Project Manager/CAD Drafter and Assistant Estimator. Participated on small design proposals for minority communities in my spare time while developing skills in collaborative work. 

Whether in architecture, landscape design, or other design fields, my goal is to transform spaces to meet the holistic needs of communities: the need for interpersonal connection, the need for creativity, and the need for nature. I am open to offer my skills in a wide range of contexts and projects as I pursue this goal.
