I earned both my Bachelor of Architecture and my postgraduate Master of Urban Design (Hons) from New Zealand. In addition, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese from New Zealand too. Although I do not hold a permanent resident visa (Green Card) or US Citizenship, I am able to apply for the E3 visa which is specifically for Australian citizens to work legally in the US.
