About 

LEED Green Associate and Revit Certified Professional junior architect with a bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering and over a year of experience in the field. My experience has been varied, with exposure to a range of projects that have refined my skills in design, modeling, rendering, and drafting.

I bring a strong technical foundation to my work with proficiency in software such as:

• Revit
• Corona Renderer
• AutoCAD
• Adobe Creative Suite

Additionally, completing training courses in digital marketing and photography has  provided me with a unique perspective on architecture and design from both marketing and visual standpoints.

Continual growth and development are essential to me, and I am eager to contribute to innovative and impactful projects. 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.
