About 

Recent graduate from the 3+ Master of Architecture program at the University of Washington College of Built Environments.  I've wanted to be an architect since I was 17 but always felt it was something that deserved my full devotion and would be best served by additional life experiences.  Now that I have acquired an accredited architecture degree, I am eager to commence my career in architecture. 

I am looking for an entry level or intern position so that I may gain some valuable experience.  I have a long employment history in high-tech fields of software development, testing, network engineering and systems support.  I thrive in a team-based environment and look forward to working with other architects and designers.  I am an active runner and cyclist; two activities that allow me to stay active regardless of the weather.
