I am driven to hone my skills and achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a licensed architect. My background as an Arab-American has provided me with a broad perspective on diverse cultures and architecture, which has fueled my passion for this field.
Throughout my academic journey, I have delved deeper into the foundational concepts and theories of architecture, which has broadened my understanding of the built environment and the role it plays in shaping the surrounding narratives. With this newfound appreciation, I am committed to contributing to the design and development of spaces that inspire, uplift, and connect people in meaningful ways.
