PERSONAL STATEMENT

I am a fifth-year undergraduate architecture student at Tuskegee University with a strong belief that integrating life and work enhances the quality of life for users. I am passionate about incorporating community culture into the design process, bringing vibrancy and authenticity to my work. With a focus on adaptive reuse, urban design, and cultural heritage, I strive to create thoughtful and innovative designs that honor community identities while improving functionality and sustainability.

I am characterized by my gregarious nature, collaborative spirit, and altruism, with strengths and experience in event coordination and management. Currently, I am working on my thesis, which explores adaptive reuse in promoting health and vitality. I believe that an entry-level position with an architecture firm that emphasizes cultural awareness, urban design, and adaptive reuse would be a transformative opportunity in my development as an architecture professional.
