"This summer, I had the opportunity to intern at W Partnership, a Houston-based architecture firm specializing in multifamily design. Through this experience, I have gained a better understanding of the profession beyond architecture school by working alongside architects and designers and contributing to real projects. I have been able to strengthen my design and technical skills while learning more about the different stages of the design process and how projects are developed in a professional setting. One of the most rewarding parts of this experience has been learning from and working with such a welcoming team.

I am very grateful to W Partnership and the Academic Achievers Program for providing me with this opportunity to grow both personally and professionally as I continue my journey in architecture."
