Committed to sustainability, I am an architecture and mechanical engineering graduate with over four years of a blend of direct architecture and green building consulting experience. I seek out opportunities with architecture firms who share a similar commitment or consultants working to enable clients to reach higher levels of energy efficiency, design, and overall building performance.
