About 

I'm currently finishing the M.Arch program at the University of Florida.  My Masters Research Project is on Disaster Relief Shelters and designing a modular system to accommodate a responsive architecture to need and provide a path to permanent homes through a flexible system.  I really enjoy small design challenges in the scale of furniture and and material joinery.

Engineering Ministries International, Colorado Springs, CO, US, Architectural Intern

I was an Architectural Intern. I helped the staff architects document and develop current and past projects, through AutoCAD and Revit. The project trip I was on was ELWA Hospital in Monrovia Liberia for Samaritan's Purse. The design was a 140 bed hospital with multiple wards and surgical theaters to upgrade the war ravaged hospital currently on the site.
