About 

I am currently pursuing MSD-EBD at UPenn, holding a bachelor's degree in urban planning. With proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Rhino, Enscape, and GIS, I possess the necessary skills to contribute to architecture and urban design. Through the program, I gained valuable experience in environmental modeling using Ladybug and CFD, while studying LEED-certified sustainable building cases. My passion lies in sustainable design, evident in the successful completion of a bioclimatic studio project that applied the tools and knowledge acquired in the program. I am eager to contribute to creating sustainable and resilient built environments.
