About 

A recent grad from the University of Chicago, I have academic, editorial, and administrative/marketing experience in the arts and architecture industries.  I'd like to eventually return to school for an M. Arch - but for now, I want to explore the real world and seek opportunities that will better acquaint me with and inform the direction I'd like to take with a graduate degree.  I enjoy theory, concept design, and urban/architectural history; I give architectural tours of buildings in Chicago; I'm an evening dabbler in visual art and photography and music; I'm self-learning rendering programs and a handful of foreign languages.
