Summary

I am a 2021 Howard University graduate with experience in writing, communication, and engineering and land surveying software. I am currently a land surveyor and civil drafter where I use these strengths to develop the infrastructure of the Greater New Orleans area. I believe that my experience in land surveying and with the engineering software AutoCAD can be a great asset to RCOAST because these skills can translate to other software, programs, or fields under the civil engineering umbrella. When I am not working or searching for new professional opportunities, I am on the hunt for different restaurants to try around the city. My current favorite is Lilly’s Cafe on Magazine St. The spicy shrimp pho is phenomenal!
