On February 25, as part of Career Week for middle school students (24 careers over 6 days), Maria presented and engaged in dialog about the Architectural profession. Students in the 4 classrooms she visited were curious, inquisitive and interested in our career, which led to stimulating conversations about the built world. The intent of Career Week was to get students excited about different career options and create a connection between their current interests and passions, and how they could translate into professional endeavors in the future.
