About me

PROFESSIONAL PATH

I am currently a student at Virginia Tech in my final year seeking a Bachelor of Architecture. My professional experience includes working for three summers at Wiley Wilson, an architecture firm in Richmond Virginia. I am interested in the building envelope, and my thesis explores the building connections of a historic building and an adaptive reuse program.

My interests outside of architecture are gymnastics, rock climbing, painting, volunteering, and traveling. I have been a competitive gymnast since fourth grade and am now secretary of the Virginia Tech Club Gymnastics Team. My travel interest stems from my study abroad experiences and from my family trips all over the USA. I have currently visited 29 of the 61 National Parks in the USA, and it is my goal to visit all of them. In Fall of 2018 I spent a semester abroad traveling with the CAUS Architecture Fall Travel Program in Europe. We visited both modern and historic architecture all throughout Europe moving cities every 2-3 days, which widened my knowledge of both the world and of architecture.
