What was your first position/job in the A/E/C Industry? I was a drafter at a small office in my hometown working on local projects and renovations while I was still in school.

Why the A/E/C Industry? Architecture is something that we all have the opportunity to experience in our daily lives. So, as architects, we have the potential to impact a wide variety of building users and affect people’s actions, behaviors and emotions. This allows one to feel a personal connection to the architecture.

Advice/Keys to success: Love what you do.

Choose one word to explain why you do what you do, and why? Challenge: We are always looking for new and better ways of doing things
