About 

     I am a twenty two-year-old recent graduate of The Catholic University of America school of architecture with the determination and strong desire to do my part to help others. I am currently learning to refine my new skills and knowledge to excel in the field of Architecture and design. With new challenges that were given to us each day, I found myself constantly interacting with all of my peers to reach a common solution; one that would benefit not only the group as a whole, but each student as an individual.
     Working together to reach excellence has always been a major part of my life. Since before I could remember I was involved in organized team sports. It taught me at a very early age that more can be done as a team, and that with a common goal the possibilities are endless. It has been something that I have carried with me my entire life, and something that inspires me even today as I pursue my first career in architecture.

Education 

The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, US, BArch, Architecture

During my four years as an undergraduate at CUA, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to partake in many unique opportunities. During my Senior year I was chosen to be a part of CUArch's first ever Solar Decathlon entry. A select team of students, including myself, we in charge or designing, developing, and creating construction documents for the 2013 competition deadline. I am happy to say that our design was one of the few chosen to actually partake in the 2013 competition in Irvine, CA, and cannot thank the program enough for allowing me to be a part of history!
