“Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.”
Albert Eintsein
Upon entering college I jumped inside of a box, unable to reach any opportunities and experiences that may be lurking. No matter how hard I tried, I could not find a way to get outside of this box. An amazing woman then told me a secret that changed my life; you create the box. I decided put my heart into everything I do, even if that meant feeling vulnerable. I began learning so much more about myself personally and professionally.
Everyday I am searching for new opportunities and experiences to continue learning about design, architecture, and the world. My goal as a professional is to immerse myself as much as possible in order to create an understanding of the world, where I stand in it, and how it can be improved.
I am currently studying architecture with a minor in Construction Management. I am involved in service learning, specifically with Habitat for Humanity. I also have interests in urban planning, information design, poverty relief in relation to design.
