In May of 2012, I earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree with a minor in Industrial Design from Virginia Tech. I am currently seeking full-time or part-time employment within an architecture firm.
GreenbergFarrow, Columbus, OH, US, Architectural Designer III
At GreenbergFarrow, I have been fortunate to work with many retail clients: Jos. A. Bank, Men's Wearhouse, Levi's, Art Van, Michael's, Circle K, Stripes, DSW, Victoria's Secret/PINK, among others.
During my experience with Art Van, I was able to work closely with the client and assist with design initiatives. This carried over into producing drawings for the interior of the store. This experience as a whole was my first exposure to a project's start-to-finish process.
As
Valley Cleaners, Blacksburg, VA, US, Customer Service
During my time at Valley Cleaners, I received and delivered dry-cleaning orders in store and by delivery. I created tickets for clothing orders and bagged the orders after cleaning. Above all, my greatest responsibility during this employment period was customer service.
In past dry-cleaning positions, I have pressed shirts and gained the ability to work in multiple locations. Working for Valley Cleaners has enabled me to assist customers with 8 years worth of extensive dry-cleaning knowledge.
SFCS Inc, Roanoke, VA, US, Architectural Intern
At SFCS, I worked closely with one of the lead designers. I gained experience in the schematic design and master-planning processes, and I was given exposure to client relations during meetings.
My time and experience at SFCS, although brief, allowed me to greatly improve my knowledge of AutoCAD and SketchUp.
Demian Wilbur Architects, Washington, DC, US, Model Builder
As part of a small team, I played a large role in constructing a physical site model of a local charter school and its addition. In preparation for additional visual aid, I also assisted in building a digital model through SketchUp.
O'Charley's Restaurant, Christiansburg, VA, US, Waitress
As a waitress, I enhanced my multitasking skills and ability of working under pressure and a deadline. In addition to waiting tables, I also occasionally expedited food, prepared salads and desserts, and washed dishes.
