This BS of Architecture 2019 Graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago is ready to share her talents and ideas with the world. Based in Chicago, I have experience with vertical buildings and urban design, along with other areas. I hope to go into residential or mixed-use building design with the right firm.
​
A dedicated and efficient college graduate awarded a Bachelors of Science degree in Architectural Design and a Minor in Germanic Studies. Maintaining academic excellence throughout my undergraduate, I have been able to take part in the UIC Honors College my entire undergrad and recieved Graduation status. I experienced faculty mentorship and promoted academic growth. With academic dedication and commitment I was awarded scholarships to attend summer abroad at Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin in 2017.
I have gained experience from various involvements and administrative work that has played a role in my overall success. I am constantly dedicated and striving for excellence with creativity, conflict negotiation, and software skills. I am eager and driven to work within the architectural design field, and dedicated to spending my time and experience to improve my abilities and to desire more knowledge as I learn.
