About 

Graduate High Distinction: Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Architecture at NewSchool of Architecture and Design, I enjoy putting my experience in construction and design along with my knowledge of digital media and technical skills to push boundaries in architecture. With several years of professional experience, and highly motivated, I see it to fulfill my short-term goal of finishing my AXP and passing my ARE to be a licensed practicing architect, and pursue this career wherever life and design takes me.
