Background

I’m passionate about architecture because it challenges me to think critically, creatively, and adaptively. To me, architecture is about more than just buildings, it’s about shaping the human experience and contributing to the future of our communities through thoughtful design. While my path isn’t traditional, it’s intentional. I plan to become a licensed architect through Washington’s NCARB pathway, which allows for licensure based on professional experience without a college degree. As a fast-paced learner and self-starter, I’m committed to gaining the hands-on knowledge and skills needed through real-world work, mentorship, and continuous learning. I’m seeking a full-time, entry-level role in architecture or marketing at a design-focused firm. I have experience in visual communication and creating graphics that connect design and storytelling. I’m excited to grow in a collaborative team that values creativity, curiosity, and making a positive impact.
