About 

A hard working, driven architect striving create functional and captivating designs in a challenging yet creative field. 

I believe in doing work right the first time but also taking responsibility and making amends for my mistakes.  I have learned  from every experience I have had with the goal of continuing to grow and develop for future experiences.  

I spent 6 years studying at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute earning my Bachelor's of Architecture and Masters in Management with a concentration in Supply Chain Management.  My desire is to work as an architect with a firm who's projects are designed to encompass not just the visions of the designers but more so the needs of the user; as it is ultimately the user who decides whether the project is a success through their constant use of the design.
