About 

Recent graduate from the City College of New York with a B. Arch, seeking to pursue licensure. Love the creativity aspect of architecture and the possibility to learn endlessly. Seeking a work environment where teamwork as well as love and support for your own team is key. Thinks that architects are also graphic designers and that the power of representation is essential in any presentation.
