1 October 21, 2011 Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Nicolas Martinez; I am a architectural designer with two years of experience looking for an intern architect position. I graduated with honors from, Los Andes University in Bogota, Colombia in May 2009 with a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture. Since my early days as an architecture student, I have had the opportunity to be a part of many architectural projects in the United States and Colombia. From this experience I have learned how to analyze existing buildings and sites, conceptualize architectural projects with a sustainable approach, develop architectural design drawings and produce code complying construction documentation. My most valuable quality is my passion to solve problems, which is also my motivation to be constantly improving my skills. I am aware of the difficulties our society faces, and I recognize the LEED Rating System and Building Information Modeling as great revolutionary tools available to help us overcome these challenges. For this reason, I prepared and received the LEED GA accreditation on January 15, 2011, as well as Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 Professional Certification on February 5, I am eager to learn, able to adjust to your firm's standards, and I am willing to work hard to contribute to your firm's design process. Certainly this will allow me to grow as a professional and continue with my Intern Developing Program. Enclosed you will find a brief version of my resume and portfolio; please contact me if you have any questions or if you're interested in meeting with me to discuss in greater detail my skills and background. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your consideration. Best Regards, Nicolas Martinez Boston Metro Area Phone: nicolasmartinezmorad@hotmail.com
