About 

I graduated from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a four year Bachelor of Architecture degree, and I also have a certificate in Construction Management, I also received my A.A.S degree in Architectural Technology with a concentration in Urban and Residential building design and in Computer Aided Design from Essex County College in May of 2006. I have had the opportunity to work with an Architecture firm where my experiences gave me a strong foundation and a good insight as to what the architecture profession feels like outside the parameters of the classroom. My professional work has given me valuable experience in the development of construction documents, field measurement, detailed design drawings from the Architect’s notes, sketches, and other drawings, while most of my school projects have given me good opportunities to explore the use of AutoCAD, Sketchup, Illustrator, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, as well as physical models at various scales and levels of detail.
