My name is Samantha and I recently graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. I am taking a gap year before pursuing my graduate degree in Architecture to explore how I can utilize design in a way that will be conducive to a positive future. I am interested in sustainability, graphic design, building in extreme environments, and using architecture to solve problem-solve within cities. I am looking for an opportunity that will foster my creativity and help me grow as a designer, while also persuading my decision on how to pursue my future career as an architect.

I worked as an intern for the past two summers for one month each. I utilized photoshop to update original renderings to reflect the current state of the project. Also, I used AutoCAD to convert sketches done by the principal architect into digital drawings that could be used by the other architects in the firm.
