AIA Phoenix Metro Women in Architecture: The Power Intro

All are welcome to join AIA Phoenix Metro Women in Architecture for an engaging panel discussion and Q&A on the power of first impressions across every professional arena. Whether you’re presenting an architecture project in person, building your presence on LinkedIn and social media, or submitting a resume or project proposal, the way you introduce yourself matters.

Our panel will share insights, stories, and practical strategies for making a strong impact in three key areas:

• In Person: How to deliver confidence and clarity when pitching a project or interviewing.
• Online: Building a professional and authentic presence through LinkedIn and other platforms.
• On Paper: Crafting resumes, cover letters, and proposals that stand out.

You’ll walk away with actionable tools to strengthen your professional presence, enhance your communication, and leave a lasting impression.

Moderated by Andrea Hardy, AIA, Co-Chair of the AIA Phoenix Metro Women in Architecture Committee and Senior Architect at Shepley Bulfinch, the panel will include:

• Tierney Encinias, Business Development Specialist at Kovach
• Betsy Maddox, Senior Engagement + Strategy Manager at Shepley Bulfinch
