Architecture grounded in how things are built — and how spaces are experienced.
I am seeking an opportunity to continue developing as an architectural designer within a collaborative practice where I can contribute my background in architecture, engineering, and construction while expanding the depth of my professional experience. I am particularly interested in work that requires thoughtful design, technical precision, and close attention to how a project moves from concept through documentation and construction.
My previous experience in construction management has given me a strong understanding of coordination, constructability, and the realities of bringing a project into the built environment. As I begin my professional career in architecture, I hope to build on that foundation by taking on increasingly complex responsibilities, strengthening my abilities in design and documentation, and working alongside experienced architects throughout all phases of a project. I am motivated by environments that encourage curiosity, collaboration, and continued development while allowing me to make a meaningful contribution to the work.
