About 

Hi there! I’m Valeria Ruiz, an aspiring architect currently pursuing my Bachelor of Architecture at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. As a full scholarship recipient for golf, I've learned the value of dedication and commitment as a student-athlete, traits that have fueled my passion for architecture and made me a fast learner.

With internships in interior design and golf course architecture, I've honed my drafting skills and proficiency in software like Rhino, Revit, and AutoCAD. As a fourth-year student, I've contributed to group projects and managed social media for the AAU Women’s Golf team.

Beyond academics, I've volunteered with Mas Humano, coordinating projects to support children in need. I'm seeking an architecture design role in an established firm where I can bring my positive energy, collaborative spirit, and eagerness to learn.

Proficient in software tools like Rhino, Revit, and Adobe Creative Suite, I'm ready to contribute to impactful projects and grow professionally.
