bio. A recent graduate of Philadelphia University’s College of Architecture + the Built Environment’s completing a 5-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture as well as a minor in Environmental Conservation Biology. This combination of studies has led to a strong foundation in analytical research and data collection. Much of the Architectural work and images in this portfolio place a strong emphasis on the study of the interaction between environmental systems and the built urban environment. By placing a large emphasis on data collection and research it is possible to create stronger connections to the neighborhoods and environments that these buildings are constructed in ultimately will habitat with providing, shelter, experiences, + community engagement. Fabrication and model construction is also key to the design methodology providing the opportunities to experience spaces in three dimensional space while also beginning to understand the interactions between materials and outside stimuli like light, weather, and site conditions.
