An Urban Design Graduate from Columbia University seeking to transform urban environments and creating dynamic human settlements. My professional vision is to create an equanimity between the naturally existing ecological landscapes and the human generated built environments. Creating interdependencies between the two, can help address various urbanization pressures being faced by cities today. This can be achieved by moderating existing growth patterns while planning for the future. I strive for perfection in personal and professional endeavors through diligence and hard work and believe strongly in perseverance.
