About 

I am in my last term at Drexel University in the Master of Science Interior Architecture and Design Program and graduate in June 2013.  I attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where I received my BA in Art History and Cristicism, while also being a member of the womens golf team.  I am a highly motivated individual that is very dedicated to the interior design field.  I am excited to continue to learn and grow as an Interior Designer.  I am currently looking for a full-time position using the skills I have gained in school.
