About 

Seven years of scholastic architectural studies have extended my curiosity and pursuit toward a career in architecture. Living in New York City and experiencing the architecture and energy of this dynamic city has been a cherished experience.  It has also allowed me the opportunity to continue to enjoy interests in the arts, as well as comedy, sports and the outdoors.
