FIRM MARGULIES PERRUZZI ARCHITECTS OFFICE EMPLOYMENT PROJECT LOCATION DESCRIPTION
308 Congress street, Boston MA June 2006 - January 2007 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Hingham, Massachusetts Margulies was my first introduction to how an Architectural firm is operated. As an entry level intern, I learned all the fundamentals from many excellent mentors. I was put on the Blue Cross Blue Shield project during the construction administration phase and learned basics of AutoCAD to pick up redlines and create sketches. I also traveled to the site every week to update the construction documents in the remote office, observe construction, create punch lists and answer contractor questions with my colleagues.
FIRM OFFICE EMPLOYMENT PROJECT LOCATION DESCRIPTION
ALBERT, RIGHTER & TITTMANN ARCHITECTS 8 Winter Street, Boston MA April 2008 - November 2008 Balcony Restoration Boston, Massachusetts The responsibility of a small renovation and restoration project was given to me by a principal as an introduction to project management. I was the sole contact with the client and proceeded through measuring and drafting the existing conditions, designing the space, hiring the contractor and overseeing construction. The goal was to restore an interior balcony which had been converted into a walk-in closet. With this project came numerous “surprises� and quickly turned exterior facade into a structural redesign of the second floor as well as a major modification to the grand staircase. Managing this project came with a great deal of pressure but was very rewarding learning experience.

CHOI + SHINE ARCHITECTS 358 Tappan street, Brookline MA December 2008 - March 2009 Brownstone Renovation Boston, Massachusetts This house was renovated for a client who wished to modernize and personalize their new home. The entire house was gutted and each floor was carefully planned for a specific need. The client was very interested in the design process so it was my task to create both a physical and a computer 3D model to help them better understand and manipulate the space.

LOWELL SOUTH COMMON | MASTER PLAN Lowell is one example of a “Gateway City”. We are working with engineers to create a historic trolley line through Lowell Common. We have also proposed deciduous tree planting, a basketball court and new pathways to the school.
LAYOUT AND MATERIALS PLAN
UMASS BOSTON | SITE PLAN UMass is in the process of constructing an Integrated Sciences Center with Architects Goody Clancy. We worked with the client and architects to design a landscape that would be both functional and engaging to the students. In the southeast side is a botanical garden which the science students will use for instructional purposes. In the middle of the landscape is an amphitheater for student performances. This new building is also to be the location of graduation ceremonies so ample space has been provided for tents in and around the southern plaza.
