MG Architects is pleased to announce that Pennsylvania Architecture Licensure Candidate Jamie N. Snitzer has been awarded a Paula Maynes ARE Grant for dedication to the profession and her community.
Since 2015, the grant has recognized outstanding architectural graduates pursuing licensure and their contributions to the architecture profession and their communities at large. The grant celebrates the late Paula Maynes, AIA, whose legacy of mentorship and service to the profession left an indelible impact on the AIA community.
This year, the grant recognizes three dedicated, passionate emerging professionals with funding to sit to test for three divisions of the ARE – a $705 testing fee and $100.00 for study materials. The traditional path to becoming an architect in Pennsylvania is three-fold, requiring education (Bachelor or Master of Architecture from a National Architectural Accrediting Board architecture program), 3,740 hours of experience (AXP – Architectural Experience Program), and a six-part examination (ARE – Architect Registration Examination).
Jamie Snitzer earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Marywood University in 2015. Ms. Snitzer brings nearly a decade of architectural experience to the firm, utilizing her solid understanding of designing and detailing commercial architecture to assist the team in bringing a design from initial planning and schematics through construction documentation and construction.
Jamie is a presenter for the Sisters in STEM program at the Reading Science Center and regularly presents a customized Women in Design program she created for local school districts. In addition, Jamie is a guest critic for architecture students going through the program at her Alma Mater. She recently purchased her first home in the Schuylkill Haven area, where she is utilizing her construction skill set performing home renovations.
MG Architects believes that it is the firm’s professional responsibility as leaders to provide encouragement, mentoring, and assistance for emerging architects to gain the broad experience required on their path to licensure. Congratulations, Jamie!
