I am currently a fourth year architecture student pursuing a five-year undergraduate degree at Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture and Urban Studies. I have committed myself to volunteer work within my local community and around the world. Learning by doing and discovery of different cultures and humanity is a priority for me. I recently completed an architecture study abroad program, which provided the opportunity to travel to and experience ten European countries. My hands on projects range from designing and constructing a backyard fishpond to a health clinic in El Canton, Honduras, to an international award winning sustainability project, lumenHAUS. Pursuing a career in public interest design is my passion and priority.
