Summary

I am a motivated architecture student at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture with a strong interest in design, sustainability, and community-centered spaces. Through academic coursework, pre-college architecture programs, and leadership roles, I have developed both technical design skills and the ability to support and collaborate with others in creative environments. I am passionate about learning through hands-on design, model making, and digital tools, and I am eager to gain professional experience that allows me to grow as a designer while contributing meaningfully to a team
