A highly motivated and enthusiastic architecture technology co op graduate from George Brown College who is hardworking, curious and passionate for designing. My education in architectural technology combined with work experience has taught me the necessary skills to help contribute in a professional environment. I am capable enough to work independently but also enjoy working with individuals who share the same motivation and enthusiasm. Having the necessary technical construction knowledge I also have a background in the Ontario Building Code and building science. Being experienced in the technical skills, I have an eye for precision and attention to detail. I constantly seek to add value to my work and by doing so I also seek to add value to my workplace and the people around me. I am a person who is responsible, reliable and committed to my goals.

Completed in Studio 5 class
Assigned as a studio project, the task was to design a condominium for Toronto which was environmentally sustainable. This condominium has ten floors above grade and has a three stories underground parking. Retail spaces have been provided in the ground floor while the second floor has amenities. The rest eight floors are the resedential units.
Located by the Toronto Waterfront and Sherbourne commons park, the building takes inspiration from the lakes peaceful tranquility and slow moving waters. This is shown through wave-like features on the south and east sides. The central courtyard features 3 separate rain gardens and various seating areas surrounded by native trees. The building offers a wide range of amenities including a gym, theatre room, spa, lounge, party room and an indoor badminton court. Keeping inclusivity on the forefront, we have designed dedicated barrier free suites. The landscape design incorporates non-invasive native plants, sustained by a greywater system, creating a harmonious and environmentally conscious ecosystem. Edgewater point redefines modern living by seamlessly integrating sustainable design elements while maximizing the overall living experience.
In my final semester of college, I was tasked to be the landscape consultant for the Etobicoke Civic Centre, which explored the aspect of reimagining the senior care facility while preserving the architectural heritage value of the project. Occupying the site of the former Etobicoke Civic Centre, this senior care facility stands as a testament to the comforting and restorative nature found in memories. Residents and visitors alike are provided with a means to recapture precious memories along with opportunities to create new ones. The design is contrary to that of a traditional senior care facility; promoting freedom, connection, and flow to foster social interaction, cognitive stimulation, and a sense of community. The new landscape design moves the parking to the underground level to increase the greenspace, slopes the main entry path gradually so that it aligns with the entry pad of the central building to make it universally accessible and creates a connection between the landscape and the lower levels.
Assigned as a studio project, the task was to individually design a small resedintial home for a given parcel of land. The project follows all the required by-laws of the building code that were needed for this project. The design intentions with this project was to give it a modern appeal while making sure that the spaces inside served their purpose.

This project required us to make a physical model of the warehouse wall section we did in the fourth semester studio at a scale 1:20. The model represents from 2’ below grade to top of parapet. Materials like cardboard, balsa wood, foamboard have been used in this model to represent the required materials. The wall section chosen for the model represents precast concrete panel as the exterior wall.

During my internship period at Reich&Petch, I was a part of Brampton Sports Hall of Fame project which at the time was in its conceptual phase. The Brampton Sports Hall of Fame celebrates the accomplishments of individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the growth of the sport in Brampton. The Sports Hall of Fame collects, preserves, researches, exhibits and promotes all objects, images and histories which are determined to be significant to the development of sport in the city of Brampton. The key message of the gallery is “Sport is for All, Sport is for life, Hard Work Pays off“.
