Architectural intern and designer blending visualization, drafting, and creative teaching.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Architectural Intern with a design-focused mindset, using tools like Rhino 3D and Vectorworks to draft architectural drawings and support project renderings. I also help with site visits by evaluating and documenting construction details.
Alongside architecture, I’ve strengthened my creative and client-facing work as a Graphic Designer—designing menu boards and gift cards, updating pricing and listings, and meeting deadlines through clear communication. I’ve earned recognition such as “Dean’s List Scholar” and a “3.8 Cumulative GPA,” reflecting my commitment to consistent, high-quality output.
Teaching has been another important part of my growth. As an Art Teacher, I guided students through drawing and painting, followed lesson plans, and created a fun and safe environment by paying attention to each child’s needs and supporting peers in activity preparation.
I’m also hands-on with media production and presentation, editing and labeling images in Photoshop and compiling video work using Premiere Pro. With certifications including First Aid & CPR and Babysitting, I bring both creative energy and responsibility to every project I join.
