Hey!
I'm a recent M.Arch grad from the University of Virginia and I'm looking for full time work. I've had 6 internships and I want to be a contributing designer at a mid-sized firm that does interesting work with ethical clients. My skills are writing, researching, drafting, and being a fast talker. I'm not afraid of hard work and can't wait to begin my career on a team I can count on!

Pohlar Construction is a small firm that specializes in multi-unit redevelopment and remodeling in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Timbre Architecture, Oakland, CA, US, Intern Architectural Assistant
Working side by side with the principal architect, I worked on residential and small commercial projects at Timbre.

University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, US, Bachelors, B. S. Architecture
At the University of Cincinnati, I had to opportunity to work interdisciplinary with the rest of the college of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning. This school with its co-op program allowed me to work all over the United States, giving me an appreciation of practice as well as useful experience. While there, I volunteered with DesignLAB, a local non-profit that placed architecture students and practitioners into school to teach kids about architecture. I worked with 5th graders for three years and won the UC Community Service Award through this effort. I graduated Summa Cum Laude.
