About 

Born and raised in Louisville, KY, I am a recent Auburn University graduate with a dual degree in Architecture and Interior Architecture and minor in Spanish. I am also an avid equestrian and competed throughout high school. Additionally, I love to follow local real estate and new developments around the city, which is what lead me to spend the last school year living and studying at Auburn's Urban Studio in Birmingham, Alabama. I am continuing to work part-time for an interior designer as I actively search for a full-time architectural position in mid-size to large cities across the US. Please do not hesitate to reach out as I would love to connect!
