About 

I am a friendly, loyal and clearly dedicated individual who has an ambition to succeed in any given environment. I am currently an architect student in Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. However, at the moment I am studying architecture abroad in Florence, Italy. The program is part of the California State University system. I love to learn, and I am always up to a challenge whatever the situation. I get along well with others, but can also work very efficiently on my own. I am seeking an architectural internship that will allow me to work full time for the summer of 2014 from June 9th to September 12th (dates can be adjusted a bit). In this position I wish to further develop and excel my skills in design and construction while giving my best to my employer.
