WEEKLY REFLECTION

It was an exciting week as Kelly and I were assigned a new project and given the opportunity to go on our own site visit, versus tagging along and riding in the backseat as we’ve done on previous trips, meeting with a long term builder and land developer that has worked closely with the firm over the past several years. It’s amazing looking back and seeing where we started and how far we’ve come just over the past four months. The knowledge I’ve gained and lessons I’ve learned from working in such a unique firm and about practice in general have proven to be invaluable. It’s a bittersweet feeling as our internship has finally come to an end, but I am definitely looking forward to returning and continuing work on both new and old projects at Synchronicity over the summer.
