Currently I live in Central Florida, and I am working with Barzelatto Group as an assistant to the general contractor, but I am always looking for something new, something challenging, motivational and creative. I have also worked with several Architects in Europe, which provided me with excellent knowledge and experience. I am well-versed in different design standards and possess outstanding computer skills.
I have Master’s degree in Urban Design from Edinburgh College of Art in November 2010, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Kaunas University of Technology. During my undergraduate classes I was accepted in the Socrates/Erasmus program, and went to study in Spain.
My attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills ensure that every project I work on will be done accurately and to the highest possible standard. I am comfortable working as part of a team and have the ability to take a leadership role if the situation calls for it. My verbal communication skills and positive attitude make me an effective communicator with both colleagues and clients that I work with.
