About 

With four years of experience in both single-family and multi-family housing in Los Angeles, I am looking for a position with a studio whose work improves the pedestrian space, is ecologically conscious, and frankly, produces good architecture. 

As I work toward licensure, my primary focus is to experience the intricacies and bureaucracies of the architecture process firsthand. I think this is the best way to apply what I’ve learned, to learn what I haven’t, and to make myself as useful and adaptable to the studio as possible.
