I graduated with my Bachelors of Architecture from Pratt Institute in 2007 with a published thesis project, and a year of studying abroad (half a year in Italy and the other half paired with an internship with ARUP during the construction of their Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China). I didn’t wait to receive my degree before getting my feet wet in the Architectural world. I had 3 internships before I graduated from Pratt. Two summers working with Pelli Clarke Pelli and the other summer with LSGS Architects (now joined with Perkins Eastman) working on exciting projects such as the renovation of the WFC Wintergarden, proposals for the Fulton Street station, 731 Lexington’s Bloomberg building and hospital wing expansions in LIJ Medical Center. My most recent experience has been in the Brand Design industry working with companies such as Wells Fargo, Walgreens, Hawker Jets, Soverign Bank, and Premier stores in Panama.
