In May 2017, I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a professional degree in architecture. Today, I am a long way from home as I work towards a Masters of Urban Design form the University of California, Berkeley. I am residing in Berkeley until the end of the summer and upon the completion of my thesis in August, will relocate to Chicago. I look forward to beginning my professional career at a architecture and urban planning firm.
