Ever since I was a child, I've grown up dreaming of becoming an Architect. It all started when I was 5 years old, playing with a building block set at my grandparents' house. I grew up in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, and received my Bachelor's in Architecture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The day after graduation, I began working closely with a residential builder, which helped me to quickly gain professional experience. After many months of working with residential architecture, I had to leave the firm, due to the shaky economy, and restructuring of the firm I had worked with. Since then I've been given the opportunity to further advance other essential skills and experience within the professional world. I have been working as a Paralegal and Special Projects Assistant at a law firm in Milwaukee, while trying to get back into the world or Architecture. While I am very eager to get back into Architecture, I do not regret having been able to take this time away to further build upon many leadership skills, giving me the confidence and experience to excel within my next Architectural position.
