About 

I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon with a Bachelors degree in Architecture. Though I have been in school for the past 16 plus years I have a diverse range of work experience; from designing in an architecture firm, to managing progress on a construction site, to freelancing architecture work for people on fiverr. These experiences have crafted my unique style and given me the skill set to work in an office full time.

Employment 

Perkins+Will, Dallas TX, Design Intern

I worked on the design team where my focus was primarily on conceptual and schematic design. I was responsible for producing highly detailed renderings and physical models. I worked alongside other designers towards developing a bid for a University building.

Western Partitions Inc, Eugene, OR, US, Project Engineer Intern

Working on a construction site gave me insight into the world of construction management. As a PE I was responsible for logging progress as the building was being constructed, I also learned the basics of wall assembly and other construction tips I now apply to my work.

GPC Architects, Victor, ID, US, Career Shadow

In high school I shadowed an architect through his daily tasks, I met with customers, and learned about the business side of architecture. I designed my own
version of the project the firm was working on and met with customers for reviews, and with the architects throughout the design proccess.

Education 

University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, US, BArch, Architecture

At the University of Oregon I studied architecture where I learned the basics of design. A few of my classes got into more nieche corners of the field such as net zero building, museum expansion, AR/VR design, and even robotic manufacturing. All of these experiences helped guide me through my first internship where I learned the necessary skills to exicute a design and complete a bid for a building.

Awards 

Solar Decathlon Design Challenge Finalist, Nomination

In 2022 I participated in a studio where we developed a net zero building for the Solar decathlon. We worked two terms to develop a proposal and pitch it to a team of reviewers. We were selected to represent our school and region as a finalist at the solar decathlon event in Golden Colorado.
