About 

I am a Fifth year architecture student attending New Jersey Institute of Technology pursuing a Bachelor’s of Architecture. Design has always peaked my interest and presented a perfect outlet to apply my creative problem solving ideas while utilizing a strong sense of precision. In that regard, I continuously search for the best solution by thoroughly investigating all options and implementing the successful ideas. Through these qualities, I have adopted a leadership model that helps drive my motivation into an efficient and organized fashion that continues to reinforce my knowledge of design.
