I have two years of professional experience working on higher education and commercial projects, with additional intern experience in residential and K-12 projects. I enjoy working on all stages of the architectural process, and am excited to continue building on the knowledge I've already gained. My favorite part of the design process is problem-solving: figuring out how all the pieces come together to create the best space possible.
KWK Architects, St. Louis, Architectural Associate
As an Architectural Associate, I'm involved in the creation and development of:
-SketchUp models for pre-design, design options, and final renderings;
-As-Built drawings in Revit based on CAD files and field verification;
-Office Space Planning;
-Client presentations;
-Design Development sets, Construction Drawing sets, and bid packages in Revit
I also participate in client meetings during the design process, and have experience with Construction Administration, including reviewing shop drawings and submittals, submitting ASI's and RFI's, and doing punchlists.
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, US, Fabrication Lab Monitor
I was the coordinator for the Zund (a knife cutter), and a monitor for the CNC and Water Jet, both routing machines. As a coordinator, I taught students how to use the Zund, was in charge of scheduling the students to get trained, and sold fabrication materials. As a monitor for the CNC and Water Jet, I ran jobs for students and faculty, in both the architecture and engineering schools.
KRJ Architects, St. Louis, MO, Summer Intern
During my time at KRJ I worked mainly on pre-design tasks, including compiling, editing, and submitting RFPs and RFQs, and doing research on codes and materials.
Killeen Studio Architects, St. Louis, MO, Student Intern
For this internship, I worked both as a drafter in AutoCAD for residential and hospitality projects, and as a marketing intern, assisting in the design of advertisements for the company and the company's social media presence.
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MArch, Architecture
Projects created during studios were a single family home, a hotel/community arts center, a presidential museum and library, a power plant re-purposed for a children's museum, and a multi-use community development. My thesis was a study into how images can be created and used to disseminate ideas.

Washington University in St. Louis, BArch, Architecture
During my time at WashU, I studied architectural design in six architecture studios, learned hand and digital drafting, and physical and digital model building. My completed projects were a community potting shed and garden, a pool house, a playground, a vertical greenhouse, a live/work structure for a scientist, and an art museum.
