I am a detail‐oriented designer with 3 years experience with a particular focus on Federal Government and commercial markets. My self-motivated and go-getter attitude make me an ideal employee to delegate work to without concern of missing deadlines. I use my organizational and interpersonal skills to work on many different types of teams, ranging from 3 person to 20+ person that allow me to encourage my teammates in creativity and time management.
By December 2012 I plan to be LEED-CI certified and also to obtain my NCIDQ Certification.
