With a diverse background extending from conceptual design, construction documentation, and construction administration, I can work in various stages of design while learning to manage new responsibilities.

DASNY, Albany, NY, US, Architectural Intern

Working in a multidisciplinary office strengthened my ability to communicate and helped broaden my perspective as a designer. This experience taught me to work alongside architects, engineers, and interior designers where I learned to produce architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings. I developed construction documents, helped perform site analyses, produced presentation material, and carried out general office tasks. I also became familiar with ADA regulations as our projects primarily involved people with developmental disabilities.
