About 

I am a recent graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy Architecture Program. While Detroit, was a phenomenal city, my desire to experience the different cultures and architecture of the world has led me to the sunny beaches of the Miami area. Graduating after four very short years has fueled my desire to start my journey through the architecture profession and find a channel for my creative output. When I am not outside enjoying the beautiful weather Miami has to offer, I enjoy painting with watercolors after taking courses at the Politechnika Warszawa (say that five times fast) while studying abroad in Warsaw, Poland. While only beginning my career, I have a very open mind about what position in the architectural world that I want to call home, and I am excited to learn every part of it.
