Career Summary
Subsequent to my graduation of high school, I plan to
study architecture through a B.Arch or Bachelor of Architecture
program in order to become a licensed architect. An architect
is an individual who creates the design for structures, and often
supervises the construction in order to maintain the level of
quality, which was originally intended. The required education
in order to become a licensed architect with the American
Institute of Architects is a degree of Architecture from an
accredited program. Following the completion of the degree,
one must complete 5600 hours of specified design work
(generally takes 3-5 years), as well as completion of the NCARB
for certification. The monetary expectation for a licensed
architect is $81,600 on average annually, with an initial salary
of approximately $46,500.

Educational Enhancement
Accepted into Fallingwater Architecture
Residency program and completed the
program during the summer of 2011.
Holding a position on the professional design
team for the ACE mentor program
(Architecture Construction Engineering).
Currently employed as an intern with Nest
Architecture Inc.
With the firm, my responsibility is to create
designs based off of my orders from the Chief
Architect, Mr. Kip Kelly, AIA. From an
educational perspective, I am also fortunate
enough to be mentored by the chief architect
throughout this experience.

Science Fair Projects relating to
Sustainability and Design
Between 2009 and 2011, I have completed
science fair projects for each of the three
competition years.
All three projects have incorporated design, and
the most recent two have incorporated elements
crucial to architecture.

Science Fair 2009
The project tested granite countertops to identify whether
they were in fact radioactive, and what level of
radioactivity the granite gave off. Experimentation was
done using a home-made Geiger Counter and computer
monitoring software.

Science Fair 2010
2010’s Project created various designs to
discover which form would yield optimal
living conditions without the need for
heating or cooling. The geodesic dome
was found to be most efficient.

Science Fair 2011
A mechanism called the wind belt was built and
tested for the project. The belt utilized
electromagnetic induction, as well as resonance
in order to create electricity. This was done using
a complex tensioning system. The goal for the
project was to create an alternative source of
energy through wind. With a significant amount
of wind belts, one could depend strictly on this
design for energy.

Business Log
Since the birth of my spreadsheet in 2009, I have logged and kept
track meticulously of my funds.
The business began by spending. I was able to accumulate a
significant amount of Georg Jensen silver, for a low price, knowing
exactly what my potential profit would be, and what my purchase
price must be in order for the item to be profitable.
Once a few pieces were purchased, they were turned around for a
massive profit, beginning my ability to start a collection of various
items.
From that point on, I have managed to accumulate over $75,000
worth of items based on the initial purchases of a few pairs of
vintage cufflinks, and the occasional small checks from where I
have worked.
My spreadsheet labels all information, and the pictures will show my
current collection, along with the current market value of the items.
Note: All “debt” digs into my personal account
