I am originally from Naperville, IL. I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for my undergraduate degree in Architectural Studies. While studying abroad in Versailles, France my junior year, I found my passion for traveling and experiencing architecture first hand. I took a year off in between my degrees and worked at Magnetrol International, creating and editing shop and customer drawings. I am continuing my education at Tulane University where I was able to take another study abroad opportunity, this time to Japan. I will graduate with my M.Arch degree in May 2014.
