After graduation I have taken some time to explore other professional interests, and I'm now looking to re-enter the architectural design path. I believe this brief but valuable experience has significantly enriched my approach to design, particularly in working with clients and the public. In my current role in Records Management for the State of Oklahoma, I've gained knowledge in organizing multiple levels of information, from creating easy-to-understand public resources to fulfilling complex report requests and reviewing new software/procedural standards. As Marketing Coordinator at Rand Elliott Architects, I gained valuable insights into architectural practice and project communication, particularly in translating design vision into compelling presentations. My time as Patron Services Coordinator at Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma further developed strong client interaction skills and the ability to manage complex operations, ensuring a polished and elevated experience.
