Gabe Puente

Architecture Intern

Gabe is a part of a professional development model that fosters design and construction career pathways known as the Apprentice Academy.  This program provides participants with actual projects to integrate purposefully applied academics with real-world practice experiences.  These experiences are structured in a sequential way that accelerates their pathway concurrently with their secondary and post-secondary academic tracks.  Gabe is one of ten college interns in an architecture program at either the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Kansas State, or Iowa State.

We at BCDM are happy to add him to the Apprentice Academy and BCDM this summer.

How did you become interested in this field?
I became interested in the field of design because of my interest in hands-on learning and a desire to be able to understand how our world functions. I find satisfaction in learning new things and being able to find new ways to solve problems. I want to be able to explore the many possibilities offered by architecture and design as my career evolves.

What was your favorite place you have traveled and why?
I always enjoy going to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado with friends or family. My favorite part of being in the mountains is the vastly different landscape compared to what I am used to in my home state of Nebraska. I will never get tired of the scenery, and I am always ready to go for a hike or just relax outdoors.
