I am passionate about contributing to society and culture through Architecture
I am proficient in Rhino, Microsoft 365, and Adobe Suite as I use them for most of my academic work, and I have experience working in AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, and Revit. I also have experience working in non-architectural fields where I was in direct contact with clients and customers that have strengthened my written and oral communication skills as well as my customer service skills. As mentioned before, I have prior experience working in a team in this specific environment and am prepared to work in a team as I understand it is the course of nature within the Architectural field.
