I am a Portuguese architect, who's trying to find an internship in New York. I already have been in the city, for almost three months, but I had to come back to my home country. I studied Architecture in the Department of Architecture of Coimbra's University, where I completed my Master's degree. I worked for six months in Porto, doing detailed design for an architecture studio and then in Aveiro, where I made my professional internship for almost a year and a half. While working in Aveiro, I developed several types of projects  - interior design, furniture design, private dwelling, and collective housing projects ( new construction and rehabilitation). I also developed many skills in project management, such as budgeting, scheduling, preparing construction documents, making feasibility studies, etc. 

I believe that an international experience would be a plus to my future endeavors as an architect. So, I'm applying for a J1 Visa on Architects US and I am currently searching for a job offer.

Feel free to contact me for more information or to schedule a skype interview.
