About
I am currently a graduate student at Catholic University in the 3 year architecture program. My concentration is real estate development. I am most satisfied with my job when I get to use my brain power to create something new and innovative. I have very eclectic and creative design ideas that I am constantly exploring.
I love a challenge and I am willing to find the answer and then some. My strengths are my planning skills, patience, problem solving and conceptual abilities. I'm studying architecture because I love the detail and complexity that each project brings. Additionally, what fascinates me the most about good architecture is that it can transform ones thinking (based off of the design aesthetic).

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I have many interest within the realm of architecture. I love walking past a beautifully designed home or even reading about a new commercial structure that a design firm in the city had recently designed.
When I first arrive in the architecture program I had a fascination with real estate. Once I found out Catholic University has a Real Estate Development program it was a match made in heaven. My intended path is to focus on real estate construction design.
