I believe myself to be an excellent allrounder with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and a Master's degree in Urban Planning. Currently I work as a landscape designer at the internationally acclaimed office Enea.
During my time working at Herzog & de Meuron Architects as an architectural intern, I have learned a great deal and achieved a number of goals. One of my highes achievements was producing publication documents of the famous Bird's Nest Olympic stadium in Bejing for a Swiss architectural magazine (Hochparterre). This led me to getting in to the Urban Planning Master's program at City College New York as one of 10 accepted students from all over the world. I accomplished my degree with a GPA of 3.89.
In my recent capacity as an urban planner for New York City Department of Transportation under the former commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, I was able to significantly expand my skill-set. My responsibilities for pedestrian and bike projects caused me to develop my ability to combine urban design with architecture. After that great experience I returned to Switzerland and started to work at Enea where I could expand my skill set and learn more about plants and green design.
My attention to detail and excellent problem solving skills allowed me to perform all the tasks on various professional as well as school projects accurately, punctually and at the highest possible standard. I have worked as part of a team and independently and have thrived in both aspects due to my exceptional work ethic. My technical skills, as well as a positive attitude allowed me to be an effective communicator to all clients big and small.
Speaking five different languages (Bosnian, German, English, French and Italian) I think I also can contribute a lot to success of your firm with international clients and contacts.
