022: Gabriella Bermea: Advocate and Arquitecta
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.
