Career Objectives I am seeking architectural project experience to advance knowledge and versatility within the profession, and further my completion of the Intern Development Program. Upon completion of IDP hours, I will obtain my professional licensure. My strengths and educational focus involve schematic design, documentation, and development of architectural ideas through utilization of hand sketches, threedimensional modeling, two-dimensional documentation, diagramming, and graphic presentation of project proposals. My interests involve projects which demand multi-use programming, integration with public space & transportation, client relations & solutions, and energy efficient and/or passive design strategies.
