Professional
info
I am a young professional with three years of full time work experience in restoration architecture. I am a skilled drafter with some experience in bidding and construction processes hoping to learn more about the industry with a firm willing to guide me. I am quick to adapt to new situations, eager to learn new skills, and not afraid to take on challenges. Whether in an office or in the field I'm eager to do what needs to be done to get to the results that are needed. I have experience working in teams with coworkers, clients, and contractors on different scale projects.

2018 - Present
After completing my undergraduate degree, I enrolled in the Master's of Historic Preservation at UPenn. With the range of curriculum, it exposed me not only to preservation, but also social issues, economic, and policy related topics. I completed courses that introduced me to research techniques and how to handle public engagement. There were also key classes in building pathology and diagnostics of potential decomposition sources.
