Welcome to this episode of Architectette. This week, we chat with Gabriella Bermea. Gabby is an associate and design architect at VLK in Austin, Texas where she specializes in K-12 architecture. She has a passion for philanthropy, education, and advocacy.
We also talk about:
- Her involvement with AIA at the local, state, and national level.
- How she had trouble seeing herself as an architect while she was in school and how she found her stride once she started working in service of others.
- We chat about her volunteer work getting students excited about architecture and how she has learned about herself through mentorship.
- We also talk about how critical it is to work at a firm that aligns with who you are and to find champions in your colleagues who will help you combat self-doubt.
