Summary

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture Technology from the University of Maryland and have spent the past five years working as an Architectural Designer, both on-site and remotely, in Guinea. My experience spans a wide range of projects, where I collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to develop building designs and produce detailed construction documents, while ensuring compliance with local codes and regulations. This international exposure has not only enhanced my technical skills, but also broadened my understanding of cultural and design considerations. I am passionate about continuous learning and sharing knowledge, which drives my commitment to high-quality, innovative design solutions, and effective collaboration with teams.
