A Bit About Me

In attending Wentworth Institute of Technology undergrad 2016-2020, I majored in architecture and minored in business management, focused in project management. In 2020-2021, I received my Master of Architecture at Wentworth Institute of Technology. 

During my 5 years at Wentworth Institute of Technology, I played NCAA Division III soccer and lacrosse, even in my graduate year. My junior year of soccer I was asked to be on the leadership committee. In my senior year of lacrosse, I was unanimously voted captain, which I served as for two years. For both sports I have received many all-academic honors for the conference. Additionally, I was accepted into Phi Sigma Pi National Honors Fraternity and became its service committee chair. I participated in several other clubs AIAS, WAC, etc. During my undergraduate studies, I was lucky enough to attend the 2018 Architecture Forum in Seattle, WA. 

​On this website, along with architectural projects, you will find artwork, some of which was created in relation to studio projects. I have a passion for not only studying but creating artwork. While living in Boston, I have found an interest in how art and architecture relate to one another and affect the spaces around them. For my thesis requirement of my master’s degree, I explored this idea through painting.
