About Me

I am a recent graduate from the 3-year Master of Architecture program at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where I built skills in architectural design, digital and physical modeling, and structures. Before my architecture journey, I studied engineering at Lafayette College, graduating with honors in 2022. My interdiciplinary background allowed me to excel in architecture, applying engineering, public speaking, and problem solving to my studies. I have advanced modeling skills in parametric design and SubD modeling. I am passionate about sustainable design, including renewable energy, accessibility, and green space.
