About 

I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in May 2012 with a Bachelors degree in Architecture and a certificate in City Planning. I currently working at Interior Alterations in New York. I am interested in obtaining a position in the design industry. .

Academically, my extensive course work in the Architecture department at Georgia Institute of Technology has allowed me to gain an understanding and appreciation for the architecture your Company specializes in. I also have studied broader elements of commercial building, including libraries and mixed-use properties as a part of my recent studio at Georgia Institute of Technology.
 

My previous work experience includes store design for L'Occitane, Inc. and renderings for clients while working at King Rose. Prior to graduating in 2012 I worked as a CAD Manager for Philips Healthcare and  MTSU campus planning department, which has provided me with a strong work ethic, communication skills, and trained me how to manage working on several projects simultaneously.  I also learned how to work quickly and efficiently, and further developed my interest in becoming a better designer.

Please contact me if you are interested in discussing my experience.

Thank you.
