Caitlin O'Meara

I started off with babysitting and bussing tables. Eventually, I worked myself up to being a waitress and party server. When I got my job as an architectural intern after graduating high school, I kept my waitressing job and worked there on the weekends. One summer I also got a job as a Biggby Barista, I began working 5 days a week as an intern and on the weekends I was a waitress and barista. As an Architectural Intern with 3 summers' worth of a full-time internship, I learned AutoCAD and Revit and skills such as being able to read building code and ADA compliances. I learned how to visit re-use project sites and measure the current building dimensions, sketch the current layout, and then draw the layout in AutoCAD/Revit. From there I've made demolition plans and new proposed plans. I've learned how to do product research and how to create schedules. My time as an intern so far has allowed me to gain knowledge on how the career functions and allowed me to gain a basic knowledge of a large range of architectural skills. I have learned how to work hard and how to gain my knowledge base.
