Personal Statement
I am currently working to earn a degree in architecture at Mississippi State University. Having already received a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management from the University of Mississippi, I have been able to enter this new chapter of my life with a fresh perspective.
As part of the workforce from 2015 to 2019, I took on a managerial role for a restaurant group and worked as an outside sales representative for a nationwide recycling company. I have been able to draw from those experiences to shape my work ethic as a returning student. It has been exciting to find that architecture has been a missing passion from my life. I have gained a newfound appreciation for what it means to truly enjoy the field of study one pursues.
I have stood out as a leader in my class having been nominated by my peers to represent them as a member of both the Dean's Council and Director's Council. I was also elected as the Student Association Senator for the College of Architecture, Art, and Design.
These roles have allowed me to further develop my leadership skills as I continually strive to lead by example.
I have had the opportunity to participate in several collaborative projects as a student thus far. I became an integral member of the Solar Decathlon design team at MSU, a project earning honors as a finalist in the nationwide competition. I also participated as part of a collaborative team at MSU to design a "learning garden", an award winning concept focused on health, food and nutrition education in Mississippi.
This portfolio is a direct representation of the degree to which I pride myself in my work. I am confident in the efforts that I dedicate to each and every project and consistently strive to be the person who exceeds expectations.
I believe that my experience, leadership, and collaborative efforts have equipped me to succeed in any environment. I am thankful for the opportunities that have been presented to me and hope to see many more to come. I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my portfolio and hope to hear from you soon!
