Employed as an intern architect at CONISTORGIS, with the purpose of acquiring efective membership with the portuguese Order of Architects. I underwent training on licensing of multiple dwelling and hospitality programs ranging from stand-alone villas and apartment buildings, to restaurants, hotels and touristic condominiums, with city halls from all over the Algarve region of Portugal and other portuguese governmental agencies. I was also mentored on articulating multiple specialties with the Architecture and Accessibility projects, during the execution phase of those projects. All those tasks were intertwined with the organization of all written and drawn documents from all specialties for submission both to clients and relevant authorities and agencies to which the projects might concern.
