About 

I was born and raised on Long Island, New York is currently a student at Jefferson University. I am a fifth year student studying architecture. My interest in architecture began my freshman year of high school where I was introduced to my first drafting class. From there I realized that architecture is a profession that combines all of my favorite things, art math and science. My highschool school did not have many architectural based classes so I focused on art and wood working for the remainder of my high school career.

I am a dedicated student and friend. I have been recognized for my ability to help and lead others. I am a member of the Tau Sigma Delta Honors Society (TSD), an honors society for the top 10% of my graduating class. Outside of academics I enjoy learning new skills. In my free time I enjoy painting, woodworking, and crocheting.
