Part time during the Covid-19 lockdown, I used a flooring specific estimating program called Callidus. I learned to use the program quickly because of its similarities to other CAD programs. I would determine the total square footage of each material and contact our sales representatives to obtain accurate pricing. I entered the data into a spreadsheet along with estimations for labor and transport costs using the company's pre-established formulas.

Between my second and third year at Pratt Institute, I worked full time at MSA. Within the small firm I assisted the junior architects on a wide range of projects. We worked well as a team and efficiently coordinated each task. I drafted in AutoCAD on a daily basis to create proposals, construction details, floor plans, and other architectural drawings. I called sub-contractors to bid jobs and visited job sites to observe the construction process. A few of the projects I helped on were: a modular classroom addition at a local school, a remodel for a firehouse, and a proposal for an LGBTQ+ youth center.
