Meanwhile...a little of Architecture, a little of fairy Tales

R O C I O M A R T I N E Z
A R C H I T E C T BY TECHNICAL COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE OF MADRID (SPAIN)

Interested in building the world, anywhere overseas. I consider myself creative, hardworking and constant architect with an outstanding work experience. Born in Madrid but with international heart. Easily adapt to foreign countries and new cultures. Open-minded and used to work under pressure with precision and efficiency and to communicate within a team to achieve shared goals. A well-organized person who has developed specific skills through her academic background. I am used to work under strict planning always handing projects on excellent communication skills that help gather or provide information. I have capability to handle different tasks simultaneously and work at strict deadlines. Photography and design are my hobbies. After I finished my studies, I moved to Asia, an impressive culture I was interested in and the place where, nowadays, Architecture is getting built. Europeans and Americans are the new neighbor of the Asian citizens...
