Driven and passionate fourth year design student. Working towards Master of Architecture with minors in Regional and Community Planning and Wellbeing at Kansas State University. Eager to continue gaining knowledge and experience in the professional field.
VALUES
Wellness & People-Centric Design | Positive Impact | Community Engagement
I believe that architecture has the ability to influence peoples’ lives both consciously and subconsciously through the experiences they have in a space created by intentional design; and that intentional architecture can positively impact the wellbeing of the occupants within a space.
