About 

I am a Chicago-based architectural intern looking for my next opportunity to expand my skills and explore new depths in design field. The approach I take to the work I do, whether in a professional setting or leisurely, is also one of enthusiasm for the brand new opportunities it may give. I genuinely love what I do and enjoy the creative process as well as the challenges that arise with being introduced to new things.

Since the 5th grade I have been fascinated with architecture. From designing cardboard houses and office buildings for my dolls to a greenhouse for a high school biology project, designing has always been a passion of mine. Even in my spare time, I enjoy making scaled dioramas of landscapes or houses.

With seven years of education and 2 years and 7 months of professional experience under my belt, I have a lot to offer.
