About 

I am a passionate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s School of Architecture who is willing to learn new things and looking to explore the different realms of architecture in my education; therefore I am looking for an internship or job that can also further my exposure to different fields in architecture. I am skilled in Rhino 3D modeling, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Word, Revit, and model building. I have spent most of my life volunteering in the community and working as a team with others, and am willing to apply those skills in the work field.
