I'm a very visual and hands-on person using many different materials to express my passion for design. The goal of each project I tackle is to create a unique design which addresses the major and minor issues that may be encountered. Working with my father in home improvement remodeling of interiors and exteriors has given me the opportunity to continually improve myself, learning innovative skills and techniques to deal with the largest parts of a design to its smallest details. I'm an assertive individual capable of functioning well independently or as part of a workgroup. I possess excellent interpersonal, organizational and communication skills, punctual and eager to complete work assignments. My strong work ethic has proven vital in my professional practice, as can be seen in the honors and awards I have acquired in my academic career. I believe architects and designers look at the world with a critical eye, comparing what is with what was and what could be. The architect's life depends on his/her ability to navigate the landscape, recognize opportunities and act with dexterity.
