2017 Class of MBUS Leads, Scholarship

MBUS Leads has allowed me to network with professionals in the field that are well connected, including the developer for Herzog & de Meuron buildings in Miami. And my best experience thus far was being mentored by Michael Larkin, zoning lawyer for architects with some of the largest projects in Miami. They offered the best advice going forward at this point in my career, and connections that last a lifetime.
