About 

An organized and focused individual with increasing experience in the design, construction, and real estate industry. I am actively looking for opportunities in the field of architecture, whether interior or exterior, to build a robust set of skills that guarantee adept versatility in any setting placed. My experiences at a traditional firm and at startups have afforded me the insight of being able to operate with a macro level understanding of the strategies and processes necessary for successful project completion and business profitably. I am eager to learn and actively apply myself in any task/ role assigned.
