About 

Throughout my career I have worked for several award winning architecture and engineering firms where I have developed a solid understanding of all aspects of design and construction. My professional experience includes programming, conceptual design, conceptual 3D modeling, rendering, code analysis, ADA analysis, specification writing, construction documentation and consultant coordination.

I am currently seeking opportunities that will allow me to use my experience and exceptional organizational skills to manage projects through all phases, work with a talented team of design professionals, and coordinate with clients and consultants. I am available during the current 'stay home' order and I have experience working remotely and across offices. I am very familiar with video conferencing, instant messaging, cloud sharing and Autodesk 360.

Thank you for viewing my profile!
