Paulina Caceres Interior Designer I am a current junior at Florida International University pursuing my Master's in Interior Architecture. I am determined to develop a solid foundation for my career and am seeking a summer internship or an interior design position that would provide me with the hands-on experience and mentorship that I need to grow as a designer and establish myself within the industry. I am open to learning new skills, contributing to any opportunity to broaden my knowledge, and bringing a fresh perspective and a strong work ethic.
