Working as an architect for nine years, I have experience managing multi-million dollar projects through all stages of design and construction, including schematic design, construction documentation, and construction administration. I have lead multiple teams through the design process and organized schedules and deadlines to meet clients’ expectations. I have training and extensive experience in musical and theatrical design, performance, direction and management. I am a Licensed Architect, NCARB Certified, and LEED Accredited Professional. Most importantly, I am a creative problem solver, energetic communicator, and established team player.
Currently, I am enrolled in classes and working towards earning my MBA, but I continue to actively look for a great position with a dynamic company, and will be able to finish my studies wherever I end up.
