About 

I am currently an architectural designer working in New York City.  I am adept at working on multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.  My responsibilities include, but are not limited to, preparing schematic design proposals, producing presentations to communicate design concept, digital and physical modeling  rendering, producing working drawings and details, coordinating construction documents, and participating in construction administration under the guidance of a project architect.  My organizational skills enable me to easily adapt to varying workflows to be a supportive team member.  I have contributed to both the architectural and interior designs of various projects detailed in my resume.

In my current position, I have been exposed to a multitude of projects in various markets ranging from hospitality to mixed-use to residential.  My dedication and motivation has allotted me the opportunity to collaborate with different teams and participate in various projects.  I am constantly challenged and inspired with each project I am involved with and I have proven my ability to adapt and mature from each learning experience.
