Education 

Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, US, MArch, Architecture

I received my Masters of Architecture with a minor in Urban Planning. During my years at K-state I also dabbled in a few courses outside the architecture curriculum; AutoCAD, site surveying, drawing and mixed media, a glass workshop and macroeconomics.

Enrolling in a summer studio in my third year allowed me to do both a study abroad in Orvieto, Italy and an 8-month internship at SCB in San Francisco.

In my fifth year I was part of the Design+Build studio.
