About 

Hey Archinect community !

I received a B.F.A. in Architectural Design, after I graduated from Parsons, The New School for Design. I am an asset because of my exposure to interdisciplinary environments in many cities around the american continent. Not only do I know software, I have the capacity to think about the more diverse user in the the new spaces that we create. Because my rank as a an entry-level architect is seen above all, I have to add, I am a hard-working, and passionate person. I ready for the accelerating speed that I will need to work in, my references can endorse this! My goal's are beyond my level of skill, and I understand my place in this business. Please let me gain the experience that I need with your firm to achieve my vision of architecture.
