About 

I am a graduating with a B.S in Architecture from Wentworth Institute of Technology this April. I am interested in working internationally or on international projects. I am looking for a full-time position and hoping to gain experience in sustainability and solving community problems. I understand that terms "helping the community" does not essentially mean building a community center but can mean designing the building for the human experiences. I want to continue studying sustainable elements and how to make it more affordable. I am really interested to have an opportunity studying while working on projects and finding a company where I can fit.

Education 

Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston, MA, US, Bachelors, Architecture

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture (B.S. Arch) with a concentration in Adaptive Interventions.

The Wentworth Institute of Technology B.S. Arch program is centered on the design studio. The Adaptive Interventions concentration investigates architecture as it relates to design interventions, adaptations, and transformations of existing conditions, communities, and contexts. It explores how built architectural works engage complex social, political, economic, environmental, historical, and disciplinary forces—and how to re-engage those changing forces when adapting or intervening in an existing setting. Suppose the most sustainable building is one that already exists. In that case, this concentration establishes strategies for capitalizing on our built fabric while imagining inventive ways to transform buildings and urban environments from past generations.
