About 

I recently received my Bachelor of Architecture (5 yr) degree through Temple University's Architecture Program, and have accepted a position at a firm near DC.

I am passionate about what I do, and consider myself so lucky to have surrounded myself with such great minds. We can only build upon each other. 

I encourage the balance between visionary concepts and pragmatic execution. Architecture has no default: simple programs do not benefit from simplistic approaches.

Architecture will always be about the people that build it, experience it, and transform it.
