About 

I started my journey in Ohio and now live in the New York City boroughs. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture from Kent State University and am working towards my architectural license in a non-traditional way, driven by my dream to design the future.

Outside of work, I love exploring New York City, and I find inspiration in the cities architectural wonders. These adventures spark my creativity. I'd love to connect and share more about my journey.
