Michael Leiting

My name is Michael Leiting, and I am a third year architecture student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln! I am currently working towards a Bachelors of Architectural Studies, with minors in Community and Regional Planning, and Landscape Architecture. I currently have 320 hours of reported experience as well as ~200 hours from a high school internship at a local firm.

This practice has allowed me to become proficient in Rhino, Revit, and the multitude of Adobe Creative Cloud applications. I also have an intermediate understanding of ArcGIS and Excel, both of which I acquired through a secondary internship relating to Community and Regional Planning. I am looking to build on my head start through new experiences, new perspectives and new opportunities.
