Background

I'm a Portuguese Architect relocating to Oregon. I have three years of internships done during my studies plus five years of professional experience, that span firms of different sizes and different countries. Have worked in Portugal, Colombia and Germany. Speak 5 languages, fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Looking forward to work in Oregon!
