About 

I am a recent graduate of the advanced standing master’s program at the College of Architecture of Illinois Institute of Technology and am applying for architectural project managers positions in the Austin, TX region. I have experience and interest in projects including single family residential, hospitality interiors and medium sized commercial developments. I am on track to complete my AXP hours and have the intention of becoming a licensed architect in Texas. 

My previous employment includes working for a high-end residential and hospitality design firm and my most extensive experience is in single and multi-family homes, and restaurant design in Washington, D.C.  I am a veteran of the US Coast Guard and I consider myself to work as an excellent team member with an overall positive outlook. I am highly motivated self-starter with strong communication skills and creative problem solving. 

I am currently based in Round Rock, TX after making the move from Chicago and am eager to advance in the architecture career path.

The focus of each studio is design experimentation that yields highly

within Chicago and explore urban areas around the globe, focusing on
challenges that shape the built environment. We design structural
and material systems that recognize issues of ecology as well as the
broader integrated concerns of climate, energy and natural resource
use, and sustainability. Uniting the diverse strands of urban place-making,
economic diversity, social equity, and environmental stewardship, Advanced
Studios promote the design of buildings and places that reflect the
values of their inhabitants and create a lasting sense of community
with meaningful identity.
