Architecture has long been a passion of mine. From an early age, I knew that architecture was something I wanted to pursue as a career. When I was five, I remember watching my dad work hand drawn blueprints and I, sitting besides him, copying his every move. From that moment, my love for architecture only grew exponentially while learning and experimenting in the field.
My career goal has always been to become a licensed architect and to establish an international architecture firm with focus on issues of sustainability. However, the bigger picture is that my thoughts, determination, and creativity all fuel my desire to change the very way we think of architecture today. I want to establish something ground breaking and revolutionary. Now a graduate, with Bachelor in hand, I am ready to explore that dream.
