About Me

Dear Hiring Manager,
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Michelle, an enthusiastic, innovative architect and entrepreneur committed to excellence across all endeavors. Though work often presses me, I thrive under expectations of perfection rather than mediocrity.
As an architect, creating spaces uplifting the human spirit motivates me. I pour heart into homes facilitating community, dignity and ecological harmony through my designs. As an entrepreneur, I spearhead sales operations for an importing business sourcing specialty goods from abroad. Despite language barriers, I’ve established trusted overseas supplier and domestic customer relationships enabling the company’s growth.
Beyond professional pursuits, I actively volunteer on community development initiatives like accessibility-focused spaces and youth programs for vulnerable groups. I believe in fully immersing oneself in service and aim to confront society’s most pressing needs through both vocation and conviction.
I welcome any opportunity allowing me to showcase perseverance while expanding my capabilities. Please review my attached credentials demonstrating a diverse range of specialized abilities from architectural mastery to cross-cultural rapport to grassroots change agency. I look forward to discussing where these polymorphic strengths may align with your organizational needs, uniting our visions further. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Chika Michelle.
