Guiding Tomorrow’s Architects and Construction Managers

Nancy is a highly experienced professional who is passionate about giving back for all of the advice and guidance in career development she was given as an emerging architect. She understands that as emerging professionals enter architecture, the most common struggle is the perception of career advancement. As a professional mentor, Nancy can help you advance on your terms while also managing the eager perception of career placements.

What the mentorship offers:

  • One-on-one guidance or group class format on career paths, portfolio development, and positioning within the profession.

  • Feedback on design work, from concept and diagrams to presentation, storytelling, and clarity of drawings.

  • Support through key transitions, such as internships, licensure steps, first leadership roles, or launching a small practice.

How it works:

  • Regular virtual mentoring sessions tailored to each mentee’s goals, schedule, and experience level.

  • Structured goal-setting and check-ins to track progress on skills, exams, projects, or career moves.

  • Practical advice on real-world issues: working with clients, collaborating in teams, understanding fees, and navigating office dynamics.

Who it’s for:

  • Architecture students looking for insight beyond studio and critiques.

  • Recent graduates seeking clarity on next steps and how to stand out when applying for positions.

  • Young professionals wanting support as they build confidence, responsibility, and a clear design voice.

Outcomes for mentees:
