Introducing Myself<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Hi! I am Stephany Altruda, a young brazilian architect that decided to explore different ways of design and project in the Architecture field. I have been curious since a child and passionate about creating different realities with space. Architecture<\/strong> came as a natural choice for me over time.
\nIn the past, I have already participated in an exchange program in London for almost 45 days at a Summer Program, as a student. That pushed me out of my comfort zone and instigated me to go beyond.<\/div>\n
Right now, this experience that is about to start as a trainee at Hoos Architecture<\/strong> will bring to me a different perspective of architectural daily working in the USA<\/strong>. I expect to learn and develop my view through architecture, especially in the form of conception and building techniques.<\/div>\n

J1 Visa Process<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Before this role process started, I always had this desire to experience architecture abroad, but I have never considered this kind of option as a working experience, because I didn’t even know that existed.\u00a0 My whole world changed on the day that a friend of mine said that a way that she took could lead me to the way I always dreamed of, experiencing architecture abroad.
\nHowever,\u00a0 not everything was a bed of roses, through this process I went through ups and downs. For instance, near the travel date, I ended up getting Covid-19<\/strong> and had to postpone my trip to the embassy. I needed to interview in another state to have time for the response so that I could leave by the end of January. Despite the delay, I was able to reschedule all the necessary appointments and obtained my visa on time.
\nDespite all the adversities, each passing day I felt stronger to achieve my goals. My will to experience this new journey only increased. Was a challenging process through these last three months, to organize all the required documents and get the visa approved, but it all paid off in the end. For sure it was a great learning experience.
\nAnd hours before getting on the flight, In conclusion I\u00a0 can properly tell you, if you have the same desire, be brave and go for it. At the end of the day, you will thank yourself for it. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
