I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Syracuse University with a Bachelor's of Architecture, and I am seeking entry-level architectural and urban design roles.
My academic interests and professional experience in architecture and urban design are in research-based design explorations, dedicated engagement in twenty-first century issues, and in producing sophisticated design solutions informed by spatial concepts. I am energized to launch my professional career, concertedly pursue licensure, and to accelerate my learning of design and construction under senior professionals.
