With a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where I specialized in Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies (NCSS), my passion for architecture and sustainability has been a driving force.
My focus extends beyond conventional design; I am particularly interested in utilizing architecture as a tool to address pressing social and environmental issues. My goal is to contribute to the mitigation of inequities through thoughtful form-making and strategic material organization.
My work ethic, collaborative mindset, and proactive approach position me as a strong fit for the demands of a collaborative working environment. Drawing from extensive experience in collaborative projects both within architecture school and during my previous internships, I am confident and comfortable working in a collaborative work environment. Beyond digital modeling skills, I possess hands-on expertise in physical model-making and digital fabrication. Additionally, my diverse internship experiences have equipped me with proficiency in various design software, including Revit.
