I am a candidate for the Master of Science, Advanced Architectural Design Degree at Columbia University, GSAPP. I am also actively on my way to architectural licensure. In the future, I hope to focus on inclusive and equitable design allow communities to thrive. I am proficient in many architectural softwares such as Rhino, Adobe Suite, Revit and SketchUp. My architectural interests range from spatial justice to sustainable building design to historic preservation.
At GSAPP, I am the Co-Chair of QSAPP (Queer Students of Architecture, Preservation, and Planning) and one of the founders of GSAPP-NOMAS, where I lead middle-school architectural workshops.
