I am an architectural designer seeking a junior to intermediate level design position. I have three years of professional work experience in New York City and California, and I recently completed my Masters degree at the University of Kentucky. I am looking for a creative firm which will provide opportunities for me to engage in innovative, nonstandard architecture. Outside of architecture, I love to make art and be outdoors running, hiking, and camping.
