For the past five years, I have been a full time student pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Architecture at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at The City College of New York. I am currently completing my Thesis with an expected graduation in May 2014. Over the past five years, my work experience, design projects, and volunteer efforts have allowed me to learn and develop skills useful in todays design profession.

As a sales specialist with Coach, I have the experience of communicating and working with clients, building relationships to drive business, working on teams, and providing excellent customer service. I am also involved with seasonal floor layout and designs to further boost sales as well as showcase new product.
I have interned with the Construction and Design department at luxury retailer Hermes of Paris. Working closely with the Facilities Manager, I assisted on site visits, worked with vendors, monitored contracts, and used various computer programs to develop floor plans and design schemes.

In January 2013, I traveled to Morocco where I lived and worked as an English Instructor to students at a public high school. Perhaps my most rewarding work, I managed a class of 30 students, developed lesson plans, and created a dynamic dialogue between myself and students to promote a positive and conducive learning/work environment. My weekends were spent traveling the country and learning about its diverse architecture and history.

Back home, I have worked on the Executive Board of my schools AIAS Chapter to promote student involvement on campus and to foster knowledge about architecture and the design profession, while getting involved with community projects through our Freedom By Design projects.

I am a young professional, eager to work, excited to learn, and intrigued by the endless possibilities our world has to offer. Working with and helping others, smiling and laughing, and positive thinking drives me and the work I wish to do.
