Throughout my academic career, I have polished my skills and gained knowledge in numerous parts of architecture. My education gave a solid foundation in architectural design concepts, structural analysis, sustainable design methods, and digital modeling technologies. I've also had the opportunity to work on various team projects, where I learned good communication, problem-solving, and leadership abilities.

I think that in addition to being useful, architecture ought to provoke feelings, stimulate the imagination, and improve the quality of life for individuals who occupy the places.
