About 

Hello! I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University at Buffalo, currently working as an Architectural Draftsman at a small-scale residential architecture firm located in Long Island!

My academic background provided me with a solid foundation in design principles, technical skills, and project management. At my current position, I am gaining hands-on experience in residential design, collaborating on various projects, and managing the preparation/submission of building permit applications on behalf of clients. 

I am looking forward to learning more about the field and am particularly interested in sustainable design and community-focused projects. I hope I am able to be a part of the ever-growing progress that takes place within the world of Architecture!
