Summary

As a knowledgeable architecture student with a passion for design and technical proficiency, I bring a unique blend of academic insight and practical experience to the table. With a background in architectural drafting, I am adept at utilizing industry-standard software such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Lumion to bring design concepts to life with precision and clarity. Currently employed as an architectural drafter, I apply my skills daily to contribute effectively to projects. Additionally, my hands-on experience in residential construction, gained through working for my family's company, provides me with a comprehensive understanding of the built environment and construction processes. With a commitment to continuous learning and a dedication to excellence, I am poised to make valuable contributions to any architectural project or team.
