Education 

Yale University, New Haven, CT, US, MArch, Architecture

I expanded on the skills I developed at UVA while pursuing advanced technical knowledge in commercial real estate, development, construction, and architectural practice and management. I led impactful projects, including a notable proposal in Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy that attracted attention from the mayor and local community. Additionally, I contributed to the “Groundwater Earth” exhibition through leadership, research, curation, and fabrication skills. The result of this educational experience is the ability to undertake complex design challenges and translate conceptual ideas into practical and experientially evocative solutions- an understanding of architecture that takes delight in profound designs without losing sight of its complex realties.

Aug 2021 - May 2024
 

University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, US, BArch, Architecture & Architectural History

I formed a strong comprehension of architectural principles, design methodologies,
and professional skills. My particular interest in tectonic, contextual, and spatial expression was substantiated by careful analysis of structural, historical, and theoretical frameworks at UVA.
