As a highly experienced architectural manager, I possess a unique blend of skills and qualities that make me a valuable asset to any architectural team. Here's a personal description highlighting my key attributes:

With 17 years of experience in the architectural industry, I have cultivated a deep understanding of the profession, allowing me to tackle complex challenges and deliver exceptional results. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams of 4 to 7 individuals, leveraging my strong leadership and communication skills to foster collaboration and maximize team performance.

One of my strengths lies in my ability to mentor and develop younger staff members. Drawing on my teaching skills, I create an environment conducive to learning and growth, providing guidance and support to nurture their professional development. I take pride in fostering the next generation of architectural talent within the industry.

As an aspiring licensed architect, I am eligible to take the Architect Registration Examination (A.R.E.) exams. This demonstrates my commitment to ongoing professional development and my aspiration to obtain licensure. It reflects my dedication to upholding the highest standards of expertise and credibility within the architectural field.

My knowledge and practice of the California Building Code are a testament to my expertise in regulatory compliance. This enables me to design and execute projects that meet the specific requirements and safety standards set forth by the state. I am well-versed in navigating the complexities of the code to ensure seamless project execution.

Navigating the permit acquisition process at the Department of Building and Safety is another area of expertise for me. I possess the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively pull permits, manage the associated documentation, and communicate with regulatory authorities. This ensures compliance and timely project progression.

With 15 years of experience in utilizing Building Information Modeling (B.I.M.) and integrated project delivery using Revit, I am well-versed in leveraging technology to enhance project efficiency and collaboration. This proficiency allows me to optimize project workflows, streamline design and construction processes, and deliver high-quality outcomes.

In addition to my technical capabilities, I have a talent for manual drawing. Whether it involves freehand drawing, manual drafting, or utilizing an iPad for freehand sketching, I can effectively communicate design concepts through various mediums. This artistic skill enhances creativity, visualization, and effective communication within the project team and with clients.

Fluent in three languages—English, Spanish, and Italian—I have the ability to engage with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds. This linguistic versatility allows me to foster strong relationships, facilitate effective communication, and collaborate seamlessly with multicultural teams.

In summary, as an architectural manager with 15 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, leadership acumen, teaching skills, technical expertise, regulatory proficiency, artistic talent, and multilingual communication abilities. These qualities enable me to successfully lead teams, mentor emerging professionals, navigate complex processes, and drive the seamless execution of architectural projects with the highest level of excellence.
