Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate recent Camden County High School graduate Evalynn Sanford for winning a national championship in architectural drafting at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta.

Sanford, who is 18 years young, captured the gold medal on Saturday, June 24, 2023. She faced nearly 50 other competitors from across the U.S. in the architectural drafting competition.

In August, she will graduate with an associate's degree in drafting technology from Coastal Pines Technical College.

Sanford has an impressive resume, already working as an intern at Charles W. Day Design, which is an architectural firm in Brunswick.

In addition to her award, Sanford earned $2,000 in scholarships, which she will put toward her next educational endeavor, a degree in architecture from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Ms. Sanford on her championship and wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors.
