ABOUT THE EVENT
"Drawing from my journey as a foreign-trained architect and first-generation immigrant, I will share insights on navigating the U.S. licensure process, understanding visa pathways, and adapting to professional life in American architecture firms. With experience across critical infrastructure, aviation, and urban design projects, in finding my footing in a new country, I have learned a lot about resilience, advocacy, and the importance of mentorship. I look forward to connecting and having an open conversation about building a career in architecture as an international professional." - Sameedha Mahajan
