I started work at Harding Partners in Feb 2019 as an Architectural Intern up until May 2019 . I was hired as an Architectural Designer after I graduated from college in September 2019. One year after being hired as an intern, on Feb 2020 I was promoted to Project Manager due to my ever improving performance and I have been tasked with leading a team of 4 people which include a graduate student with 2 years experience, an intern architect and an accountant. I manage the day to day activities at Harding Partners which include:

Assisting with construction drawings
Attending coordination meetings. Coordinating drawing sets and submissions with partner Architecture firms and clients using software like eBuilder.
Approving payments (using B2G) and coordination with contractors and subcontractors
Site visits.
Marking up drawings and giving redlines to my team.

Successfully created design details keeping the existing building details in mind.

As an intern and Architectural designer I was commended on finding better solutions to the detailing and design problems presented by our projects. I was also greatly successful in helping the clients cut costs for a few projects.
