Great for her! I'm happy to hear that the younger generation is interested in architecture.

I would say the most critical skill is to draw, yes drawing by hand. It's imperative to be able to communicate visually quickly. Tell her to draw everyday, doesn't have to be perfect or sophisticated but have her draw and communicate what she drew. All the other stuff will fall into place naturally.

An architectural technician is a CAD drafter or someone who isn't licensed to practice architecture. An architect is a person who has gone through school, internship, and passed their exams to practice architecture.
