Zealous and assertive designer/aspiring Architect currently seeking to broaden experience within the built environment. Adapt to stressful situations, fast pace projects, and the like, my creative yet tenacious approach allows me to uncover unique avenues for different project tasks. With a broad academic background in interior architectural design, psychology, architecture, and construction management; my design approach leans towards enhancing the end user experience and stimulation. Presently working on my MArch and MSCEE-CM at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I am involved with several civic, professional, and social organizations related to the built environment and community enhancement.
I have experience in the Adobe Suites, AutoCAD, Google SketchUp, Rhino, and BIM, specializing in Revit.
