Ryan Hernandez

With a robust foundation in environmental studies and a passion for sustainable architecture, I am a dedicated and innovative graduate of Southern Illinois University Carbondale. My expertise lies in urban planning, environmentally conscious design principles, and community development, underscored by a commitment to ecological practices. I am currently advancing my knowledge and skills as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Throughout my academic journey, I have demonstrated exceptional stewardship towards community development, notably through my active participation in Alpha Rho Chi, where I spearheaded numerous initiatives aimed at fostering community engagement and sustainability. My dedication to the field has been recognized with a scholarship from HACIA, highlighting my commitment and potential in the construction industry.

I have also engaged with industry professionals, such as I-NOMA and Arquitectos where I have gained valuable insights and network opportunities within the architecture and construction industry. My professional aspirations include contributing to innovative projects that prioritize environmental sustainability and urban resilience.

I am eager to leverage my background, skills, and experiences in an internship or full-time position! I believe that we can create safe and inviting spaces for all individuals with cutting-edge sustainable design technology practices within our great communities.
