I am a Junior Architect looking to continue to challenge and expand my knowledge of architecture while working towards meeting NCARB requirements to become a registered architect of New York.
To me architecture is a problem solving exercise where the design is the formula created to generate the desirable solution where it not only looks visually appealing but is also functional. When done successfully it serves its initial purpose while simultaneously giving back to its surrounding communities.
My goal is to obtain the necessary knowledge and opportunity to do my part in making an impact in this world to help better serve the people and the generations to come.
