About 

A Caymanian Woman, with a Technical Side!

Growing up in the eastern side of Grand Cayman,Cayman Islands. I chose to study architecture, because it has such a demand for new innovative ideas accompanied with merging factors of technology and arts. I pursued a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in the field of Architecture at Savannah College of Arts and Design, graduated with Cum Laude Honors in Spring 2017. Additionally on my academic journey, I obtained an honorable title of the first female recipient of an Associate of Science Degree in Engineering with a specialization in Technology obtained at the University College of the Cayman Islands. I am currently in pursuit of a master’s degree in Architecture at Florida International University.
