About 

Since attending Drexel’s 2+4 Architecture Program, I have had the opportunity to work in the profession directly in firms such as Blupath Design and Remus Architecture during the day whilst continuing my education at night. I am proud to say that my skills and abilities both in the office and at school have greatly increased during these years. Although I, like all students, have much more to learn, my computer skills including Revit and SketchUp modeling, AutoCad construction documentation, Photoshop rendering, as well my hand sketching abilities have all blossomed immensely. In addition to office experience, I have had the  gratifying opportunity of working in the construction industry with companies like Greensaw Design/Build and Carolyn Henry Construction, where focus, attention to detail, and efficiency are a essential.

I am currently working on my thesis project for my final year at Drexel where I am designing a pedestrian bridge across the Schuylkill in order to properly connect east and west Fairmount Park.

Education 

Drexel University, BArch, Architecture

The mission of the Drexel Architecture Program is to pursue architecture as a professional discipline by combining the rigors of the academy with the realities of contemporary architectural practice. The program does this by providing a strong, broadly based curriculum in the arts, humanities, social sciences and the applied sciences coupled with professional courses taught by faculty who reflect the broad diversity of architectural practice today.
