About 

I am interested in an Architectural Designer position. I graduated from Cornell University in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Architecture and minors in Game Design, Business, and Information Science. My education provided me with a strong foundation in user-centered design and a comprehensive understanding of how the built environment impacts individuals.

In my past experiences, I have worked on single and multi-family residential projects, historic preservation, civic projects, and critical facilities such as data centers so I’m open to various projects.Through internships at Granoff Architects, Beyer Blinder Belle, and Jacobs Engineering Group, I gained valuable experiences in schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration. I am a self-starter and quick learner, able to manage projects efficiently and collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams. More importantly, I am a team player, always eager to collaborate and learn from others. Additionally, I am proficient in Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, Grasshopper, Enscape, Vray, Twinmotion, and Lumion, and I am familiar with 3D printing, laser cutting, and wood and metal shops.
