With my highly effective time management skills, during the last two years I have received my master's degree in Sustainable Interior Environments as well as working full time at Feldman and Feldman Architects. This masters degree gave me an insight into LEED and I will be taking the LEED Green Associates exam this winter. I am very eager to start working with a firm who works on environmental and LEED projects. I will be taking the LEED Green Associate v4 exam in January and hope one day to become LEED AP BD-C.A
Feldman and Feldman Architects is a family owned high end, architecture and interior design firm located in central New Jersey. With this job I have been successful in taking architectural drawings from preliminary to construction documents. I have also been working with the senior interior designer on interior projects, whether it be pricing furniture and fixtures to meeting with clients and going to showrooms. I work closely with a New Jersey modular company to construct the foundation, patio and deck plans for residential homes throughout New Jersey. Since Hurricane Sandy there are new, strict zoning codes along the Jersey Shore that we must follow. Also secretary duties include answering phones, scheduling appointments for senior architects and speaking with contractors and inspectors.

Studio courses were Fundementals of Working Drawings, Residential Design, Commercial Design, Institutional Design, Interior Architectural Systems and Senior Thesis
Senior thesis was a two semester course for graduation, 1st semester was Graduate Research and Programming. I had to pick a social issue, Ocean Pollution, write a thesis, find an existing building and gut the space.
