Jannea O'Rourke
I grew up in the small town of Forest, where my school helped develop an interest in all things trade related. From an early age, I was captivated by art and design, experimenting with various creative hobbies. School especially helped me discover my love for different designed structure's and interiors. It wasn’t until my grade 10 technological design course that I truly discovered my passion for architecture. That class introduced me to AutoCAD and the architecture industry, sparking my fascination with the field. After graduating high school in 2021, I took a gap year to reflect on my next steps, and eventually, I pursued my dream by enrolling in the architectural technology program at Durham College. I’m eager to continue honing my skills and turn my passion for architectural design into a fulfilling career.
