About 

I am a highly motivated passionate person with an eye for details. My skills include managing a diverse team and directing them to achieve the clients vision. I also excel at molding new talent and am always willing to collaborate on a project. I enjoy new challenges; Architecture and design are my passtion. I relocated from the Dominican Republic about 2 years ago where I work as Project Design Supervisor and I Studied Architecture at the University Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña where I graduated with a GPA 3.4. I also have completed an interior design certification program from School Altos de Chavon. I work in design with many large brands and I specialize in finishes. I enjoy and am always willing to learn new things, I am plan on starting a new challenge this spring getting a certification in landscape design.
