Ever since I was young I have always had a great deal of inspiration that has led me to architecture as a profession.  Whether it was my love for Legos as a child or the passion my grandfather had shown and influenced me with while being an architect, architecture has always ignited a huge spark in me.  I recently graduated this past May from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree.  My design studios covered a vast array of projects each of which helped to teach me and progress my knowledge of architecture to where it is at today.  I am eager to move on and contribute my knowledge and ideas of architecture in the real world, and take my experience and learning to the next level.
