061: Shadia Jaramillo: Service, Citizenship, and Licensure as an Architect

Shadia Jaramillo is an architect at Goodwyn Mills Cawood in Pensacola, Florida. Originally from Panama, she moved to the United States in 2013 to pursue a career in architecture.

Shadia is deeply committed to community engagement both in person and online and uses her social media platform, @shadia_architecture, to mentor emerging professionals, advocate for design, and promote the value of architecture.

We talk about: 

- Shadia’s devotion to leading through service and how she has paired her architecture expertise with volunteer opportunities on local and state levels. 

- We next discuss her experience as an immigrant working in the US. She shares her perspective on higher education, work visas, sponsorship, navigating the naturalization process, and reasons why she has chosen to mentor others following the same path.

- We also chat about the emotional and logistical challenges of passing the AREs! Shadia shares the realities of studying, failure, and licensure success.

- The episode ends by highlighting Shadia’s post-ARE hobby: 3D printing! We talk about her printers, what she’s making, and why 3D printing is a fantastic creative outlet.
