+ ARCHITECTURE + MODERN DESIGN + URBANISM + SUSTAINABILITY
The purpose of architecture is to shelter and enhance man's life on earth and to fulfill his belief in the nobility of his existence 足 Eero Saarinen
EDITOR COLOPHON For as long as I can remember I have always had a passion for architecture and a penchant for becoming an architect. Early in life I enjoyed drawing and was a avid model builder. My interests were largely peaked while living and traveling in Europe as a child. Today, I continue to pursue my aspirations with the same youthful enthusiasm through both my personal and professional work.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE SfL+a Architects, PA 足 Fayetteville, NC Project Manager | Project Coordinator July 2004足January 2009
As a member of several teams I was able to contribute to many effective and efficient design solutions. My experience was called upon to arrange and participate in programming sessions with our clients, provide detail and coordination solutions during all phases of design, as well as to assist in project management and cost estimation. During the latter stages of my tenure my experience with LEED was also put into practice both in design and preparing candidates in our office for the exam. I also served an additonal role as IT Coordinator for our entire 50+ person 3 office LAN/WAN.
