Currently a resident of Philadelphia, I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University in May 2015 with a Bachelor of Architecture and three minors in Environmental Inquiry, Architectural History, and International Studies. My passion for travel fueled my interest in design at a young age. It has shaped my philosophy that architecture can better humanity but must maintain a balanced relationship between the people it serves and the environment it is in. Everyone should have the right to experience good design.
