"My academic journey in architecture has been distinguished by a commitment to both personal excellence and community involvement. During my pursuit to my Masters of Architecture at the University of the District of Columbia, I maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA while working on a thesis focused on Vertical Urban Gardens in Vacant Buildings, a project that addresses issues of social equity and sustainability. As President of the Tau Sigma Delta Gamma Pi Honors Society, I had taken a leadership role within the academic community, fostering collaboration and innovation, as well as making efforts to help my fellow students.

My dedication to education extends beyond personal achievement, as I tutored fellow students, helping them develop problem-solving skills, navigate the challenges of architecture school, and learn the software needed to be a professional. This commitment to fostering academic growth has earned me prestigious accolades, including the AIA Medal for Academic Excellence, a Certificate of Excellence for my thesis, and becoming an AIAS Crit Scholar for my writing. My blend of academia, leadership, and mentorship reflects a deep passion for the field of architecture and a desire to contribute to both the academic and broader community.

Additionally, I have volunteered and worked during my educational career. I worked through the pandemic, taught multiple educators how to teach and work remotely, and spent numerous hours honing my skills in different software to help be successful in multiple fields. The reward mentioned earlier. AIA Medal of Academic Excellence, was awarded to me for my thesis, helping other students, and the work that I had done to help develop and change the education at my graduate school. I am confident that the experience I have can be shared in a constructive way and that I can teach those subjects to any willing to learn." less...
