About 

I am a recent Master of Architecture graduate from Orlando, Florida. I was previously a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Florida, but I am currently seeking an intern architect position regarding firms of interest to gain professional experience and collaborate on realistic projects.

For the last few years, I have been focusing on completing my Master's Research Project which entails reconfiguring an occupation of a relative's home in Crawfordville, Florida. Artistic expression played an important role within the project based on developing a categorical measurement of place experience, material artifacts, and additive built systems. I have always been interested in drawing solutions in architecture through the use of artistic and sociological values, but the technological skills I possess have proven its resulted imagery.

On the contrary of architecture practice, I have got a particular fondness for voice acting. Being exposed to voice actors such as James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman, Paul Frees, and many others have motivated me to pursue voicing as a natural hobby that could later translate into a second professional career. From speaking in front of an audience, practicing reading certain scripts, or recording voice over demos and sending them out to gain professional feedback, finding meaning in this particular skill has helped develop a true understanding about myself and the verbal role I portray in architecture.

Moreover, the continuation of architecture and voice acting allows me to explore a variety of opportunities to utilize advance creative thinking and to establish a strong design craft and vocal presence within diverse communities.

When I am not thinking (or doing) architecture design, I enjoy travelling, spending time with family and friends, exercising, and practicing reading aloud items that have words written on them.
