About 

Since childhood, I have always been very hands-on and expressive through art and graphic design. After taking a design studio at Northeastern University, I knew that architecture is a field that satisfies my passion for an aptitude for problem-solving, my taste for innovation and sustainability, and my devotion to ideation. Recently, I graduated with a B.S. in Architectural Studies at Northeastern University while taking additional courses in Art + Design Fundamentals, Experience Design, and, Psychology.

I have worked in the architectural field, focusing on the schematic design process, providing me exposure to all the elements of the building design process. I am always open to challenging and exciting opportunities in various aspects of the design field. I excel in fast-paced and collaborative environments and genuinely enjoy the learning experience!
