I am a third-year Master of Architecture student at the University of Pennsylvania, with a BA degree in architecture from UC Berkeley. My passion for sustainable architectural design has led me to become a certified LEED Green Associate.
As I prepare to graduate this May, my goal is to become a licensed architect within the next five years. I am excited to explore opportunities in the field of architecture and to join firms that share my passion for architectural design.
My academic achievements, combined with my practical experience in the industry, have equipped me with a strong skillset in architectural design, project management, 3D modeling, and program development. I am confident that my expertise and passion for sustainability make me a valuable addition to any architectural firm.
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am looking forward to connecting with professionals in the industry and exploring potential opportunities that align with my professional aspirations.
