About

I am the first of my family to have the opportunity to attend a four year university college. I strive to meet high standards with most actions and decisions I make using incentives with support from my self-motivation. I motivate myself to ensure the outcome of what I do is not settled at mediocrity, but instead starts with diversity to creatively take an original path in the direction towards the standard needed to be met. I consider my self a modest person at most times but when a situation arises that requires action I feel it best to always be humble about these actions while having the constant presence of humility to guide them.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My intentions for my career is to start with internships in a variety of environments that range not just directed toward architecture, but other fields too for knowledge purposes. I would intern while being an undergraduate and while attending grad school, have a job set and ready at an architecture firm. I would work at this firm as far as it will take me and adjust as needed along the way being that I could switch to a different firm, or multiple firms, while in my early years of my career. After years of accumulating experience, knowledge, and becoming highly proficient in architecture I intend to start my own architecture firm, with unknown whereabouts at the moment, and build upon that with an incentive of the sky being the limit.

Graduate school interests

In grad school I would like to pursue a masters degree in architecture as well as a bachelors degree in architectural engineering. I have yet to be decided on the rest however, I know I would also like to achieve other degrees that will broaden my knowledge on anything related to my field of study.

Outside the classroom

When time is found some hobbies include updating my music library, reading comic books, and playing video games. Also, rarely with a missed day, I do enjoy religious exercise including weight lifting, calisthenics, and cardio such as running and bike riding.
