I was quick to apply, and after a couple of months of polishing my profile and improving my portfolio, they sent me an email letting me know that Inglese Architecture + Engineering, a medium size firm located in New Jersey, 40 minutes from Manhattan, had an opportunity. <strong>I really liked their portfolio and their work philosophy, so I was certainly interested.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We arranged a Skype interview and the next day I received their offer! I accepted it the day after and started right away with the visa process. Architect-US was with me every step of the way, so even though it seemed overwhelming at some points I never felt alone!<\/p>\n<p>I will start this adventure in a few days, and I can\u2019t wait to get to know everyone at the office. As I said, Inglese Architecture + Engineering has an amazing portfolio and I am eager to <strong>start working on the firm\u2019s projects.<\/strong> I am sure is going to be an amazing experience that will make me grow professionally and personally. I am also excited to explore NYC and everything it has to offer!<\/p>\n<p>It has been an intense couple of months, but everything has been worth it, and I am grateful and excited about this next step on my career as an architect.
