Education:
2015 A.S. Architectural Studies/ CAD Technology, Vincennes University
After working for a year and a half as an instructor I moved into the role of Program Coordinator in the Fall of 2023. I graduated from the Architectural Studies program in 2015 and moved into the career field were I worked designing layouts for residential structures. In my role at VU I also work as the Architectural Club advisor. This club is eager to gain industry partners to help broaden their knowledge about the field and I act as their first point of contact. Currently I am working on providing students with the opportunity to become certified in multiple software applications used for drafting and design.
