About 

  I am a graduate of Pratt Institute's school of Architecture. It is my goal to work at a creative and collaborative architecture design studio.

  My past work experience has been broad, having worked as a visualization specialist for an artist, an administrative assistant, and as a draftsman. While my skills extend outside of architecture, it is my goal to commit and specialize within fields inside and around architecture.
