Hello! I am an M.Arch 2020 candidate at Columbia GSAPP with 4 years of professional experience, 3.5 years of which I was a lead project designer at a firm in Denver. I had the unique opportunity of getting to be part of all stages of my projects among others, and as a result have a holistic understanding of what it takes for a project to become a reality. Design thinking, collaboration, and tenacity are just some elements it takes for architecture to happen.
