About 

I have been working as an architectural designer and project coordinator in the theme entertainment industry for almost 8 years. My experience covers multiple disciplines in theme park design and project management; including pre-design interpretation and negotiations of RFP, proposal response, and managing design deliverables. I’ve been established as the lead customer interfacing personnel at my previous company for over 10 projects and can help translate this experience to your company. 

 In additional to managing customer relations and project lifecycle, my knowledge in programming, architectural drawings, modeling & rendering, and presentation will help ensure the successful delivery of projects in your company. 

My goal is to continue to grow in the professional architectural design field while on track to becoming a licensed architect.
