About 

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and Minor in Human Computer Interaction as well as a passion for the beauty of experience and detail. I strongly believe in the process of design and its applications to situations outside of architecture and design, and am looking forward to ways I can improve human experience, expand my skillset, and develop new methods of approach to design.

Advocacy and leadership are an incredibly important part of my career, all of which have been unquestionably crucial to shaping my perspective of studio culture, my work ethic, and my motivation.
