One Community welcomes Renata Maehara to the Design Team as our newest member of Team Brazil!

Renata Maehara – 4th-year Civil Engineering Student and Lead Drafter

4th-year Civil Engineering Student and Lead Drafter: Renata currently studies at California State University, Long Beach as an exchange student. She speaks three languages; Portuguese (native), English (advanced) and French (intermediate). During her high school she did a Technical Civil Construction course with habilitation on Management, Architectural Projecting and Rationalization of the construction. This course introduced Renata to the construction area and had her working as an intern draftsman in an architecture office for one year before entering college. This experience improved Renata’s skills in teamwork, planning, organization and AutoCAD, Revit, and 3D Max softwares. It also gave her the opportunity to interact with professionals in the construction field and it amplified her interest and knowledge in this area. This influenced Renata to make Civil Construction Sustainability her priority of studies from the beginning of college. As a volunteer member of the One Community Intern Team, Renata sees the opportunity to learn and gain more professional and personal experience while applying her knowledge helping with the design and development of the Duplicable City Center and the Cob Village.
