I am in Urban design school looking for opportunities as a STEM OPT student. When I was 21, I went for a 3000 km motorcycle road trip. Not metaphorically, I literally drove in the highest motorable road on Earth ( Khardung la Pass ). While I was riding, I thought about quitting approximately 500 times. But despite the effort, low altitude, mental and physical pressure, I kept going. I’m that person. Once I say I’ll do something, it will happen. Now, I put that perseverance to work as an urban designer. I’m well-versed in design, planning, teamwork, software skills, and problem-solving.
If you’re interested in grabbing coffee and talking (or to hear how I almost fell off of motorcycle), please send an email my way.

University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Masters, Master's of City Design
The Master of City Design (MCD) is an intensive graduate degree focusing on the physical design aspects of spatial relationships and interactions between people and places. Students learn how to plan for the physical design of cities using spatial thinking that combines analyses of places, meaningful engagement with diverse communities, and design knowledge across the scale. Hands-on field-based studio learning provides immersive exposure to integrated design and contemporary professional practice in complex urban places across Chicago.
