How did you become interested in architecture?
I became interested in architecture through my love of travel. I have been to six countries and over 20 states in my life, and I have always been interested and inspired by the diversity of architectural styles that each place has to offer.
What kind of career do you hope to have?
I hope to work on residential and commercial projects once I graduate. Ultimately, I want to use my design experience to create my own event venue.
What is your favorite thing about UNC Charlotte, the College of Arts + Architecture, or the School of Architecture?
The School of Architecture emphasizes the importance of exposure to different architectural styles and plans a trip for each year of studio. The studio trips not only correspond with the curriculum being taught, but are also a great opportunity for us to explore different cities and make memories with each other.
Do you participate in any community activities or work in the Charlotte arts/design community?
I am a member of the National Organization of Minority Architects and the American Institute of Architecture Students.
When you are not in class, studying, or working, what do you like to do for fun?
I like to travel, cook, and spend time with my friends and family when I’m not in studio.
