I am a fifth year Architecture student at Virginia Tech currently developing my thesis, centered around the integration of historical fabric in adaptive reuse, in pursuit of my Bachelor of Architecture degree.
My studies have provided me with broad proficiency in the use of drawing, model-making, technical software, 3D visualization, and in the importance of representation to communicate a concept. Alongside this, I have developed extensive construction experience and leadership knowledge through my four years of involvement in an internationally award-winning Design-Build project.
