I am a recent MArch graduate in of Southern Illinois University. I received my bachelors degree from here as well. Previously I attended school in Chicago at Harold Washington College where I received my associates degree also with a concentration in architecture. I have had a well balanced educational training including structures courses, building technologies and a wide variety of design studio types. Revit Architecture is my primary program used in construction documents, conceptual massing and rendering. I am currently working on my master's thesis project which is combining a new found interest in development and urban planing with building design and how it relates to people on a human scale within a suburban context. I am focusing on suburban downtown redevelopment as well as a transit community and new bike paths that will tie the new in with the history of the village. The project goes beyond just the immediate suburb but also how it ties in with its adjacent suburbs and to the regional planning for the Chicagoland area provided by CMAP. I have recently held an internship for a couple months in a local firm, but I am beginning to look for future employment for when I complete my work at SIU and seek a new experience in a large city environment.
