About 

I look towards the future and I see all the possibilities. As a recent graduate of Illinois Tech's Architectural Undergraduate program, I'm working towards finding my role in becoming a contributor to sustainability. I want to find a place where I can not only use my knowledge, but a place that encourages me to learn more about it. I believe the best way I can pursue this is is through architecture due to not only its high potential for improvement, but also because the amazing opportunity it has to share its knowledge with all its users.

At the moment I am also working as a freelance graphic designer for my brother's start up company. Assisting him in creating slogans, illustrations, renderings, organizing his presentations presentations, and designing promotional items.
