About

I am extremely proud of the work that I have done thus far at WSU. Each semester's GPA was almost exactly the same, at about 3.6, which results in a cumulative GPA of 3.64. I am on track to certify in the architecture program at WSU this fall, as my GPA makes me a highly competitive contender for the limited spots available.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am currently acquiring job shadows with both architects and construction managers, to help cement my interest in architecture or inform my change to construction management. Once one of these fields has been permanently selected, I have a mentor will assist me in getting summer internships as a construction management or architecture student, to help my build my resume. The end goal, as discussed with my mentor, is to get a job with the city, because job security, and pay are both good, and I have heard that people have had mostly good experiences working for the city in those fields.

Graduate school interests

Currently no need or interest.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy casual sports, namely tennis, racquetball, long boarding, and volleyball, I will also go mountain biking on beginner trails when given a chance.
I also participate at my local gym, which is currently Down Under Recreation Center at WSU, but I was a member of LA fitness in the past. I was not a particularly healthy person 3 years ago, and living a healthy lifestyle has since become an integral part of my day to day activities.
Like many teenagers, I play video games now and then, and I am part of a semi-competitive team, which is now competing in an Overwatch community tournament (called UGC) along with the 5 other members of the team.
