PROFESSIONAL GOALS & ASPIRATIONS
EDUCATION
I graduated from Southern Illinois University with a Bachelors of Science, for Architectural Studies. I am currently working towards my M.Arch at Ball State University. My focus at Ball State has been in high performance buildings, specifically embodied carbon modeling and analysis.
PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE
I plan to have nearly all of my NCARB AXP credits completed by the time I graduate with my Masters in Architecture. By the time I graduate my goal is to have enough experience through my education and internship practice, to sit through all six parts of the ARE and obtain my license to practice architecture.
MAKING AN IMPACT
I believe architectural design is more than creating an attractive and functional structure. Architecture is to innovate and create new ways in which we live and function as a society. The world is always changing, socially, economically, environmentally, and technologically. I believe it is an architect's and designer's job to adapt to the changes and be able to lead the way into the future of how we live and thrive.
