About 

I am a recent graduate of UC Berkeley with a degree in Global Development, I am extremely interested in the architectural field, specifically in sustainable design or green architecture. I am planning to go back to school to get my masters in the field, so I am hoping to have the opportunity to work in the industry in some capacity before returning to school. I have experience working in various types of offices with different work cultures and duties. While I am an incredibly meticulous employee, I also pride myself on being a very creative person and harnessing that ability as an imaginative problem solver.
