What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a position that offers opportunities for professional growth and collaboration with a talented and inspirational team. My goal is to establish myself as a trusted expert in interior design and architecture.

At Dreyfuss and Blackford Architecture, I assist with finish selections and client-ready design documentation for Blithedale townhomes and ADA-accessible condominiums. I coordinate layouts, fixtures, and accessibility elements, and create Revit models and architectural sheets.

On seismic retrofit projects at Salinas Valley Hospital, I support NPC-4 compliance work, including ceiling bracing and equipment anchoring coordination. I also analyze 360-degree imagery to assess existing above-ceiling systems, mechanical equipment, and structural constraints.

At Silva Stowell Architects, LLP, I worked on healthcare and commercial projects for Kaiser and Sutter hospitals, including waiting rooms, exam rooms, and administrative spaces. I developed design and construction document packages, researched materials, and coordinated with consultants, clients, and contractors.

My experience also includes AutoCAD drafting at MGM Construction and helping customers choose furniture and surface materials at Living Spaces and Palm Design + Surfaces. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design/Interior Architecture from Sacramento State University.
