About 

As a junior member of the SB Architects design staff, I offer support in the design and coordination of high-end hospitality projects. In keeping with the firm's emphasis on professional accreditation and sustainability, I am working toward professional licensure and LEED accreditation.
Prior to joining SB Architects, I worked for Orascom Development in Egypt, where I worked on numerous high profile resort projects at El Gouna, including the Ancient Sands Golf Resort. My passion for both functionality and artistic vision drives me to constantly expand my skill set as a designer.  
I am truly grateful for the amazing opportunity to get my first Architectural job in the United States with SB Architects. I love the entire company and the people, and I am really enjoying every moment at SB.
