Summary

Business administration professional with eight years of experience in the executive search and automotive industries. Adept in talent acquisition and leadership, I foster team growth while implementing business strategies and initiatives. I am eager to pursue a life-long career in Architecture and believe this profession offers a challenging and unique career path. The complexities of modern architecture and buildings is extremely fascinating, but having the ability to transfer an idea into a completed project would be both rewarding and fulfilling.
