About 

A recent graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute located in Troy, N.Y. I received my Bachelor of Architecture in May 2009. I am currently a Junior Architect with national and international experience. My concentration is primarily in urban design but I also have experience in small to medium scale commercial projects. I am currently working towards my IDP for Architecture licensure.

I have interned at various firms over the years while being a student and learned a lot about the practical design environment as well as the conceptual. While in school, I participated in a cutting edge urban design study abroad program located in Shanghai, China at Tongi University.

I work very hard and well on teams. I crave the intricacies of good architectural design and I love to learn about it. Once I see a goal I will keep working to achieve it in order to satisfy myself as well as my employers. I have knowledge in a variety of design programs and I have additional leadership experience.
