June 19, 2012 Dear Hiring Professional, As a recent graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I have focused my thesis project on a hospitality-cultural hotel and marina with a community development in Rio Dulce, Guatemala. This project seeks to utilize architecture as a generator of opportunities for under-privileged people through cultural and economical exchanges, through the implementation of creativity, flexibility, and efficiency in an innovative approach to both hospitality and community design, as well as tourism. I am a self-motivated individual who has a passion for the field and a strong desire to excel in this profession. Looking to continue learning from other talented individuals through collaborative and intellectual interaction, I would like to expand my knowledge through an internship with your company in the upcoming months. Being confident that my skills and experience in Architecture match your firm’s expectations and requirement, I am certain that I would make a significant contribution to your company. Throughout my education I have developed strong abilities in hand drafting, sketching, and drawing, as well as in computer design programs such as AutoCad, Revit, and SketchUp. My abilities in communication and connecting with others will also contribute to the great and interactive work environment within your company. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Crista Saravia
