I am a motivated Master of Architecture graduate; I am energetic, organized, a keen collaborator, and skilled with Revit, AutoCad, and Adobe Suites. I am interested in adaptive reuse and heritagepreservation. Outside of architecture and design my interests include art history, cooking, biking, skiing, yoga, and traveling. I enjoy learning new things; this year I am learning Spanish and how to skateboard.
