Summary
With a five-year background in youth public organizing, I aim to transition my experience in advertising communications, broadcast media, and community outreach into the field of architecture. Currently in my senior year as a Bachelor of Architecture student with a minor in Construction Management, I am seeking admission to a master's program to further develop my skills and fulfill my goal of practicing architecture.
