Questions?
As a self-motivated, reliable student-athlete from New York City studying Business Administration and Architecture, I seek interdisciplinary career opportunities that integrate design and business.
As a testament to my adventurous and independent spirit, I spent two study abroad experiences in France gaining valuable experience in cultural immersion and meaningful interactions between a language barrier.
I crave to develop personally and professionally by tackling business problems with my innovative problem solving combined with my determination to complete tasks timely and thoroughly.
