Summary

As a third-year Landscape Architecture student, I have developed a strong foundation in site analysis, conceptual design, and digital modelling using a range of design software. I am highly interested in the field of architecture and plan to pursue a Master’s degree in Architecture to further expand my design knowledge and professional opportunities.


My hands-on experience in landscape construction and working with arborist's has given me a practical understanding of construction processes, site coordination, and material implementation. I bring strong skills in 3D modelling, rendering, and developing detailed AutoCAD base plans, along with the ability to communicate ideas clearly and work effectively in team-based design environments.


An Architecture Intern position would allow me to apply my design and technical skills in a professional architectural setting while gaining valuable experience to support my long-term goal of becoming a licensed architect.
