About
Hello I'm Arnold Walkin Jr, I am 24-year-old aspiring architect hailing from the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands. I'm currently in my first year at the College of Southern Nevada, and I'm pursuing a bachelor’s degree in project management before transferring to the University of Las Vegas (UNLV) to focus on architecture. I've recently earned his Associate of Arts degree in August 2024, marking a significant milestone in my academic journey. With a passion for design and a commitment to excellence, I am poised to make a meaningful impact in the field of architecture.

As I near the completion of my Bachelors degree in Project Management, I am excited to pursue my passion for architecture by transferring to UNLV to complete my bachelor's degree. Architecture has always fascinated me because it combines creativity, problem-solving, and the ability to shape the built environment. Throughout my associate degree program, I have gained a solid foundation in design principles and developed strong visual communication skills. I am eager to further expand my knowledge and skills in architecture through a rigorous bachelor's program. My ultimate goal is to attend graduate school and earn a master's degree in architecture, where I can delve deeper into specialized areas such as sustainable design or urban planning. I am confident that UNLV's renowned architecture program will provide me with the necessary tools and opportunities to excel in this field.
- Outside the classroom
Swimming, rugby, art, and gaming are my favorite hobbies. Swimming allows me to feel weightless and free as I glide through the water, providing a refreshing escape from the stresses of everyday life. The thrill of diving into the ocean and the rhythmic strokes help me find tranquility and improve my physical fitness. On the other hand, rugby ignites my competitive spirit. The adrenaline rush of tackling opponents and working together as a team fuels my passion for this intense sport. Art is another hobby that allows me to express myself creatively. Whether it's painting, sketching, or sculpting, art provides an outlet for my emotions and allows me to explore different perspectives. Lastly, gaming is a hobby that combines entertainment and strategy. It transports me to different worlds and challenges my problem-solving skills. From immersive storytelling to multiplayer competitions, gaming offers endless possibilities for fun and growth. These diverse hobbies bring me joy, fulfillment, and a sense of adventure to my life.
