I am an aspiring architectural designer currently located in Fort Wayne, IN. In addition to my Bachelor's degree, I have a great interest in sustainable building practices. I hope to find a position that is a great fit for me, while pursing endeavors such as LEED accreditation. I am currently registered with NCARB and have been consistently logging hours since my first co-op semester in the Fall of 2021 with VSWC Architects. I greatly enjoy being part of a creative design team and creating the best spaces possible for clients. Not only do I enjoy working through construction drawings for submittals, but also creating stunning visuals to go along with the project. I have experience with both commercial and architectural projects. References are, of course, available upon request. Thank you very much for your consideration.
