My experiences with the architectural community have been filled with a number of great opportunities. I am someone who leaps at the chance to progress my skills and my career, pushing forward to be a well-rounded architect. During my graduate studies at Savannah College of Art and Design, I was pleased to be a part of a good number of impactful studio projects and competitions. I was selected as one of 30 international groups for NASA’s 3d printing competition: designing a habitat for mars exploration. Finalist also included Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), as well as Norman Foster Design. I collaborated with a team of 25 students, inclusive of students from UNIS in Antigua, Guatemala, to create a studio project that involved a Cultural and Research Center.
Stepping into the professional community of architecture, I have the pleasure of working on tremendous projects. This has aided in adding to my experience of design, project management, and the production. Also being able to work though out each phase of a project and lend my expertise in theming, Hospitality, K-12, higher education, performing art centers, and Aviation. This has led me to take on projects not only in the United states, but also other countries such as Japan, Spain, and Dominican Republic. I will continue to push for excellence in the architectural community and beyond.
