About
I am pursuing a bachelors of Architecture degree concurrently with a Masters of Science in Architecture at Penn State University. I am always eager to learn more, and push myself academically and professionally, gaining more knowledge and passion in Architecture!
As an architecture student, I strive to continuously improve skills through my education and through professional experience. I take personal interest in sustainable design and the impact of a building’s carbon footprint. Through the Integrated Undergraduate / Graduate (IUG) program at Penn State, I am currently conducting research on design with Mass Timber and its role in promoting a circular economy.
