Currently immersed in the vibrant realm of Regional Planning at the University of Massachusetts for my Masters, my architectural roots have cultivated a passion for concept-based design.

The plot thickens with a recent triumph a coveted fellowship in the University's Campus Planning Department, where my role as an Architect/Planner is a canvas for innovative design solutions. This adventure fuels my zeal for creating not just structures, but meaningful experiences. Beyond the blueprints, I'm a fervent admirer of art and design.
