I've worked in the design industry from a bunch of different angles writing for architecture publications such as designboom and architect's newspaper, as well as interning at several firms in America and one most recently in Italy.
My major of Architecture Studies in College focused on architecture history and theory and was very writing heavy and it has helped me greatly to communicate about architecture and design effectively.
I've also gained a further exposure to drafting tools and other essential practical skills, through my various internships and additional summer coursework at Pratt and the Spitzer School of architecture.
I'm very passionate about the many aspects of the profession from marketing to designing and the various logistical problem solving, and am eagerly looking for any opportunities in the field.

Boston University, Boston University, Bachelors, Architectural Studies
I started off at a liberal arts program at Carleton College studying art, math, physics, and other general coursework; later, I went abroad to study in Rome where I took courses on the architecture of ancient Rome, as well as the futurist design/architecture. After taking these courses and several more at Pratt and Spitzer I realizing my desire to peruse architecture, I transferred to BU for its architecture studies program. Here I focused on architecture history and theory.
