Summary

I am writing to express my strong interest for the Associate Product Owner position at Pass the Keys as advertised . With a solid background in architecture and a deep passion for design, I am excited to explore new opportunities in the remote work environment and believe that my skills and experience make me a strong candidate for this role.

I have dedicated 16 years of my career to the architectural sector, where I have gained valuable experience in various aspects of the field. From conceptual design to project management, I have successfully contributed to the development and execution of numerous architectural projects, showcasing my ability to balance creativity with practicality.

However, my circumstances have recently changed, and I have embraced the role of a single full-time parent. While my dedication to my children is unwavering, I am also eager to continue my professional growth and contribute to the Property industry.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in a range of architectural software, including AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite, which were all self-taught.

Architecture is a very collaborative industry, where the finished product thrives on the management of such collaborations. I am, therefore adept at producing detailed architectural solutions, conducting site visits, and collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

What sets me apart is my ability to think critically and solve complex design challenges. I am an innovative problem solver, consistently seeking opportunities to push the boundaries of traditional architectural design and create spaces that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable.


In addition to my technical skills, I possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, which enable me to effectively collaborate with clients, contractors, and colleagues. I am comfortable presenting design concepts and ideas to stakeholders, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and meeting deadlines are paramount.

I am confident that my passion for architecture, combined with my adaptability and dedication, would make me a valuable asset to your team. I am excited about the possibility of contributing my skills to Pass the Keys remotely and bringing a fresh perspective to your products.
